Yeah, but most people don’t give it any thought, do they? Lots of people would dump Chrome if they gave some thought to what’s going on behind the screen.
I have occasionally been without an adblocker, when I’m fixing someone else’s laptop or on the road without mine, and IT IS HELL. Google doing this says a lot about Google, and it ain’t pretty.
Why are uBlock users even on Chrome? The two are completely opposed to each other philosophically.

I for one was simply lazy, but this is enough of a kick to get me to finally make that switch.

Same here. Finally replaced my chrome shortcuts with Firefox. Google yet again proving their incompetence.
I really wish there was an alternative to android, other than ios. I’d love to get off Google’s ecosystem before they inevitably kill it themselves.
It’s not necessarily straightforward to run Firefox on a Chromebook.
Your point is taken but It would again beg the question why someone that wanted to block ads would buy a device designed by an ad company.
Because I needed a machine that could run my college’s anti-cheat spyware, and Windows or Mac were even worse (more proprietary) options.
Besides, I’m pretty sure it’s old enough that “manifest v3” wasn’t a thing yet, so how was I supposed to know it was gonna be a problem?
