I don't see how getting rid of ad blocking would help Google. The people that know tech enough to always install Adblock first thing when installing a browser will just jump to the next browser.
And the people that don't know tech enough to do that wouldn't have used Adblock either way.
They're losing out on a much larger userbase (People that know tech) in the hopes of keeping the subset of that userbase that knows their way around tech but doesn't care if adblock is installed or not and making them 'pay' by watching ads.
That would at least be my opinion if that's what's actually happening, because I personally didn't gaf about these news until now and I only read the text from the meme. And quite honestly, I'll continue not giving af in the future.
And in comes Google's 'DRM for websites' plan to force you to use a chrome based browser. Sure, the websites still would need to opt in to integrity API, but how many will turn down guaranteed ads and tracking.

Yeah if Google can get big websites like Facebook or Xwitter to use their DRM, then the average user will be forced to use Chrome for those sites, and it will be an advertiser free-for-all.

So I switched to Firefox for privacy reasons but fuck if it isn't buggy as hell on my old phone. I'm keeping it, but it's a huge reduction in usability compared to Chrome.

Literally me. Planning on switching to Firefox after work today.
Will Vivaldi still block ads, even though it's on chromium?
If web drm becomes a thing, nothing, not even firefox and vivaldi will be able to block ads on websites that implement web drm.

Just made the switch for my personal computers. All the extensions that I used are there except a few for work.

I recommend a DNS-based ad blocker like NextDNS. Works on everything, everywhere!
Not on Reddit or YouTube or anything else that serves ads from the same domain.

I've just recently switched because Chrome yet again stuffed up all my task bar shortcuts (whatsapp, keep, calenders etc) so they all just loaded as tabs.
Firefox doesn't even have the ability to create task bar icons so for a long time I never bothered with it.
Found this extension which mostly gives that functionality. Not perfect as I have to share the URL links to the main instance to view them in a separate tab, but it's ok. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pwas-for-firefox/
