> 99% of security experts I know use ad blockers.

But if they all use Chrome, wouldn't those be really weak ad blockers?

This is a common myth. I've used uBlock Origin Lite for months (a year?) and still see zero ads.

I'm extremely intolerant to ads, so I would leave Chrome if ad blocking stopped working.

Adblocking is an arms race. Google is handicapping adblocking progressively the fact that it doesn't take one day to achieve absolutely doesn't make it a myth. Adblocking is technically worse and the more locked down our environments are the easier it will be to kill or drastically reduce it.

If everyone had the same attitude this would probably already be the case.
