I will form a home-policy that allows me to only buy alternate products that were not advertised to me. Goodbye "Tide" hello "EconoSuds". If I see your ad, you are off the list.
Why wouldn't you just switch to a non-Chromium browser instead?
Just switch to Brave or Firefox, it's simple
Brave is bullshit Malware.
Use Vivaldi.
Made by the people who made the original Opera.
Hyper customizable, ad, tracking, and pop-up blocker by default.
I've been a Firefox user since the days of mosaic. I used the original Opera for years, coming back to FF when Opera was bought by the Chinese. While I still have FF as my main browser, I'm now finding myself using Vivaldi about 50% of the time. Damn good.

What will all the chrome users do?
Continue to suck on the poisoned fruit.
No it won't... It WILL mark the end of Google Chrome though...
I don't know if it would, necessarily. So many alternatives are chrome-based, and part of the reason google was able to accrue that share to begin with was by putting a "get chrome now" in the corner of every search you did.
Most alternatives don't have that same kind of advertising reach to displace chrome, especially not for casual users.
I doubt there's many people who care about using add block who don't at least know what Firefox is.
