In dialog with the Coalition and other industry groups, we plan to have Chrome stop showing ads (including those owned or served by Google) on websites that are not compliant with the Better Ads Standards starting in early 2018.

It was rumored a while back by WSJ but this is the first official thing.

Update will be in early 2018.

I'll be getting Chrome for iOS starting in 2018 then.

One of my big dislikes about browsing on iOS is the inability to use AdBlock. They've made their own app for ad-free browsing, but it blows chunks.
