Update on the ad tracking wars:
Browser went spastic this morning with several sites not loading properly. Google has now started blocking my ability to use Google Maps and Google Drive unless I disable the ad tracker.
So in short - my files and content are effectively held hostage until I grant full permission to Google to track my activities on pages where ad tracking is supposedly not taking place.
