Google certainly is making waves in ad tech these days, isn’t it?

The industry is still keeping quite a keen eye on its Contributor program, which promises to block ads (on a certain few sites) for users who are willing to pay (between $1 and $3) for it.

Lastly, Digiday breaks down Google’s dominance in the ad tech scene, and why that’s concerning for the industry.

However, not everything is about Google.
