    In the second quarter of 2023, Google’s revenue amounted to over 74,3 billion U.S. dollars, up from the 69.1 billion U.S. dollars registered in the same quarter a year prior. The company amounted an annual revenue of 279.8 billion U.S. dollars throughout 2022, its highest value to date, with most of its earnings being powered by advertising through Google sites and its network.

      No, but if everyone started using ad blockers they would. Thats the point here, isn’t it? Google wants to stop people using ad blockers because the are loosing revenue.

      Revenue ain’t profit mate. Everyone knows the only reason Google exists is because ads support them so they can give all their services for free primarily.
