Hopefully this is the inflection point for Chrome. Despite all their made-up "security" reasons, everyone knows this is solely about making adblock less effective. For many users, adblock is what makes chrome bearable - and if they make it unbearable, then those users will leave. Slowly but surely.

Google seems much too sure of itself making this change. I hope their arrogance pays off just the same as Microsoft's did with IE.

I've been checking browser stat counters religiously, looking for evidence that this change is driving their numbers down. No luck so far.

Am I missing any? https://gs.statcounter.com https://analytics.usa.gov https://www.w3counter.com
