Report issue. You're not running an adblocker! wink

Google already has trouble with support, if they have a million lightly befuddled users who are getting blocked and "don't know why", that will be a problem for Google.

Somehow I feel like they won't care, those reports probably go directly into the bin.

They'll care if enough people do it. Being flooded with reports is just as time consuming

You're assuming they're actually going to respond to the issues reported. Maybe at first they will, but I'd wager that it won't be long before all reporting an issue does is send an automated "We're looking into it" email before promptly deleting the ticket.

It would only work if enough people do it to show up on their metrics.

Might report this as an issue even while I’m not seeing it, just for some extra confusion.
