>where other blockers by default can easily block all Google ads

Adblock Plus, the most popular adblocker, does not block Google ads by default, because they are considered non-intrusive.

I would not expect Google to recommend using an ad blocker. They still want you to be able to see the 'good' ads.

blocking google.com with adblocker will make website unresponsive.

I have not even seen this in real because I use startpage and duckduckgo on top of ublock that blocks google ads anyway. Its strage to me that not everyone just blocks all ads.

Except if they're blocking ads and the ad blocker actually works (as e.g. uBlock Origin does), they're spending zero time viewing ads.

I never see any Google ads ever. Does the built in adblocker in chrome do that? Or does it... not block ads?

Adblock works wonders. I never see Google ads.

Right so it doesn't do what an adblocker is supposed to do, which is block ads. It doesn't do that because it's not in Google's interest for it to do that.

An ad blocker also removes the ads from Google search though.

There is adblock+ for Chrome.

uBlock is free, I have never seen an ad in any google service.
