    Because they will never ever include an ad-blocker.
    Because Google is and advertising company. The biggest on the net in fact.

    I know that there are tons of Google fanboys here on /. But I don't trust them more than any other ad company.
    (And of course, as they are fanboys, they will never ever tolerate the existence of another view, or... basic facts... So prepare for this to get modded into oblivion as proof. ^^)
