If they want to dig an early grave for chrome, sure, there's always firefox

Chrome on Android does not support extensions at all. It's still the biggest mobile browser. Sure, it will make a lot of technical people mad, but a lot more won't care.

I sort of want a client that does the exact opposite. Click on all ads in the background and provide bogus randomized client data, in essence costing companies money for no gain and rendering advertising useless.

It exists as a plug-in, google it. I fixed a bug in it once actually but forget the project name, there are two plugins like it
I didn't know there was another, hopefully someone will mention it?

Brave and Firefox on Android blocks ads just fine.

Sadly I suspect that may change. Manifest v3 was added to FF in 109 which is why I am on ESR and will probably stay on it as long as I can. Mozilla get funding from Google and that could potentially come with the price of blocking ad-blockers using manifest v3 at some point.
