Did Google create its own adblocker?
Last year Google introduced the next wave of mobile friendly pages as we know today as AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages), these “special” websites have a lightning icon underneath their description.

As the name suggests AMP pages load almost instantly, but how? By restricting JS (javascript) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) documents. *But not all*. In other words developers can’t use any frameworks or libraries.
Since this restricts developers from importing code from other sources, this also restricts developers to add annoying popups and banner ads unless they are not from an ad framework, of course Google AdSense (Google’s ad platform) are allowed.
💡Tip:
Google has also released an AMP debugging extension which helps the developer find if their page is following Google’s guidelines, but this can also act as a silent adblocker. To be more explicit, the days when you are forced to disable adblocker to get access to certain content, are over. This can be done with the help of the AMP extension which will directly load up the AMP page despite the fact that you are viewing the website on a non-mobile device.
How does this work?
Most websites use an anti-adblock client or framework, that obviously has to be imported. Since its not allowed in the AMP guidelines, they have no choice. But remember you need to add an Adblock extension alongside with the AMP extension for this trick to execute.
