fraud-fighting? Even Google's initial pitch was explicitly describing it as a way to sell more ads.
I wish they'd have grown a pair and outright said "we're forbidding ad blockers in Chrome, come at us". I bet there'd be less controversy. This WEI thing just makes them look like sniveling weasels.
From their point of view, blocking ads probably equals fraud.
