I wish you were right but I doubt you are. Yes, the internet is absolutely unbearable with ads -- to you and me. But so many people suffer in silence and consider ads to be a minor annoyance that's simply inevitable.

Same with Android TV: most people accept the default launcher that serves ads and pushes content constantly. It takes some work to change the default launcher, but people won't even try. They accept it.

I pray every day that Manifest V3 will be the beginning of the end for Chrome, because it cripples ad blocking in an unacceptable way. But I very much doubt it will happen.
