... "annoying experiences."

Google's move, anticipated since word got out in April, will impact the entire advertising ecosystem because Larry and Sergey's Chrome is the world's most popular web browser for desktop and mobile users alike.

According to Sridhar Ramaswamy, senior VP of ads and commerce at Google: "We've all known for a while that the ad experience is a real problem, that has confused and angered users".

"We realised that solutions such as ad blockers punish everybody, including publishers who develop great content and are thoughtful about the ad experience they put on their site."

However, Google isn't calling its technology an ad blocker, instead classifying it as a "filter" that removes the ads that consumers hate most.

The hate list include pop-ups, ads that flash quickly, change colors or force people to wait ten seconds before accessing content on a publisher's page.

The plan to install such software on Chrome is a result of work by the Coalition for Better Ads, whose members include Google, Procter & Gamble, Unilever, WPP's GroupM, Facebook, Thomson Reuters and The Washington Post along with the Interactive Advertising Bureau and the Association of National Advertisers.

However, the mobile boost to media consumption is slowing.

Mobile internet consumption increased at an average rate of 44% annually between 2010 and 2016, driven by the spread of mobile devices, improvements in technology and greater availability of mobile-adapted content.

Some of this extra consumption time was cannibalised from traditional media, but the spread of mobile technology has given a boost to overall media consumption by allowing users to access more media, in more places, and at more times than ever before.

The average person spent 456 minutes consuming media in 2016, up from 411 minutes in 2010 – an average increase of 2% per year.

... 34.0% in 2016.

This is the first year in which more money will be spent on internet advertising than advertising on traditional television (the latter totalling $192bn).  

The sheer scale of internet advertising means its growth rate is slowing. Internet adspend grew 17% in 2016, down from 20% in 2015, and Zenith expects growth to slow to 13% in 2017, 12% in 2018 and 10% by 2019 (though it will continue to add US$23bn‐US$24bn a year).

In this environment it is vital that platforms and publishers address advertisers’ valid concerns about viewability and brand safety to secure sustainable growth. As the market matures, advertisers need to know for certain that their ads are being actively viewed by real people in appropriate environments.

... 17% compound annual growth rate through 2021.

Assuming the firm's reckoning to be accurate, that's up from $33bn billion last year.

Of the overall mobile adspend, the location-targeted portion is projected to grow from last year's figure of $12.4bn to $32.4bn in 2021.

This growth translates to 38% of overall mobile ad revenues today -- growing to 45% by 2021.

According to BIA/Kelsey, one of the biggest mobile success factors for local mobile is "native thinking", which involves building content, apps and ads that fit the device’s unique form factor, as opposed to importing formats from legacy media.
