Classic cat and mouse moves. Adblockers will move to OS level so google cant do anything about it. Pi-hole and Network level blockers should also see a rise.

time to move to firefox
Way ahead of you...
Only thing I'd really love to see are container-specific windows, so 'Work' tabs would open by default in my 'Work' window.
I hope no one here is surprised by this G was more and more anti ad-blocking for years now.
This is only natural conclusion after u are a de-facto browser monopoly.
I wonder how much of this is actually about Adblockers... vs Googlers just wanting to make some performance numbers go up in aggregate to make their own internal company stats better. Cos sure as hell no user is waiting for this.
Apple/Safari adopted pretty much the same architecture on Ad Blockers. Maybe just maybe the conspiracy theories are all wrong, and there was actually a legitimate, technical reason for choosing a restricted API.

This is the point in the dominance cycle where the dominant player decides they no longer need to be the fastest or the most secure and that their dominance will allow them to coast along doing their thing. There’s nothing particularly inevitable about what happens next, but let’s hope they get an IE6-sized kick in the teeth.
But if I had to choose between adblock or swipe to switch tab, then they made the decision for me. There is no way I can ever browse the web without an adblocker
On mobile i use brave, and when things break I switch to chrome. I tried Firefox multiple times, but I can't help but miss the swipe the address bar to go from tab to tab. I always revert back to chrome. So it's more of a convenience for me. But if I had to choose between adblock or swipe to switch tab, then they made the decision for me.

I use Blokada for adblocking on Android btw, and this change wouldn't affect that. Works fine.
