They can pry adblockers from our cold dead hands. Then other people will make new ones.

    They may kill this iteration of ad blockers. But there will always be another and another. Google has a lot of smart people working for them. There are also a lot of smart people in the FOSS community that will eventually find a way around it.

    At the end of the day there will still be people recording songs by holding two boom boxes together.

    Make software that runs on your computer that uses machine learning to detect ads on you screen and put kitties and puppy pictures over them. Browser and sites couldn't do shit about it unless they start acting like anticheats scanning your computer for that software etc..
