Would use Chrome browser if ad blocking is disabled by Google?

Google is going ahead to restrict ad blocking Chrome extensions to enterprise users only despite a backlash to announcement by Google in January. They made a corporate decision that they are an ad company and willing to lose users that are using ad blockers. Would use Google Chrome if ad blocking is disabled?

Chrome is the easiest browser to use. I disliked the fact that Firefox was more complicated than it should be.

I do wonder if someone could fork Chromium and reinstate the WebRequest API, which is what is currently used by the content filtering extensions, and will soon be nerfed.

There are way too many ads in YouTube these days. At least in India. I survive only because of adblock

If they do that, they'll lose their edge (to edge)

If you don't switch, you can consider Google owns your thought process as well as your choices. It's called Habitual Conditioning.
