Google planning Big brother "behavioral targeting ads"

Hi malware fighters,
Google is preparing for new targeting ads, Google will use your analyzed surfing habits to show targeting relevant ads. Privacy groups are not amused, re:

Google will test these 'behavioral targeting' ads inside YouTube and on partner sites. How do you plan to permanent block these ads inside the browser?

I saw this coming years ago and those of you using the Google browser are most at risk for this ... though no one is really safe.

Good luck to them, they won't be targeting my use of youtube
I don't use it.
It is a rare day when I see any add with adblock plus with easylist
That reminds me to update easylist subscription.
