Welcome back to #TheDailyThree, a weekday roundup featuring 3 top stories in digital + a few thoughts. Today we’re discussing tomorrow’s big Chrome ad-blocker launch, some great/creepy Valentine’s Day content and a fun new feature on Facebook.
1. Google is unleashing its built-in ad blocker for Chrome tomorrow, meaning a lot of the most annoying ads you see across the web will disappear. I like this because it will force marketers to create better content rather than jamming it down your throat.
2. Speaking of, you were likely bombarded today w/ #ValentinesDay content, most of which was bad. Some of which was funny. But no one did it better than Netflix, who built a relationship expiration site based off *that* episode of Black Mirror.
3. Facebook is adding a fun new feature to make creating lists more of an interactive experience. Their Head of Newsfeed Adam Mosseri said that they noticed users making lists as long statuses & this would be an easier/sleeker way to do so while increasing engagement.
