question: why don't you make your browser window smaller?
My laptop's own screen is too tiny to be usable for long periods, which is why I plug in a real screen. But on the real screen, I generally have several different windows open and positioned around the screen. I don't get this idea of "well, so much screen space was being wasted anyway that it doesn't matter if junk gets filled into it". I don't have trouble filling my own screen...?

I wonder if iOS 9 and the increasing usage of Ad Blockers in general will make a dent in Google's ad revenue and give GOOG more reason to pause?
I agree. I have thought the same thing. On my Android Note 4, on the other hand, the,ads are not blocked. This is probably not a coincidence.
Firefox for Android + your favorite extension will work.
I worked at Google's main office in 2013. I am pro Google but I have to question the long term viability of relying mostly on web ads. If I am not programming or writing, then I am on my cellphone - same as most people, a smartphone is the main device I use. I don't like ads on my phone, but they don't bother on a laptop web browser because of the surfeit of screen space.
