Switch to Firefox.
* Chrome destroys ad blocking
* Advanced users now suffer the same internet as everyone else
* Advanced users will find a solution, and that solution can't be chrome anymore
* This starts an exodus of advanced users .
* Advanced users configure the browsers for everybody else, hence everybody else also joins the exodus
The end result is less of a monopoly.
This is the same mechanism that ultimately killed of IE and moved everybody to chrome: The monopoly of the time got so arrogant they didn't listen to their users, so users fled to a better alternative.
The strange thing is, groups of people have more or less the same tolerance for abuse, know their limits have already been violated for a while, and learn alternatives from each other. As a result, It takes a long time of abuse to trigger an exodus, but when it started, it starts everywhere at the same time. Then the abuser tries stopping the exodus by rolling back only the last change, but that's not enough anymore.
Hopefully someone will decide to come up with a totally new browser. I remember times when BitKeeper told Linus that they will somehow try to charge for using their tool to keep Linux kernel source code (can't remember the story, but they managed to irritate Linus, delicately speaking).
Linus sat down and started coding... and created Git.
Unfortunately browser is a more complicated piece of software, but maybe this is also a problem we should solve.
The enormous complexity of browsers these days makes this almost impossible.
A better solution would be for Mozilla to direct all funding directly to Firefox and try to find other ways to monetize the browser.
Brave is trying one approach but now they are also tied to the underlying Chromium engine. I am not sure what the effort will be like to try to maintain a fork that ignores Manifest v3.
As long profits from Firefox does not goes back into developing Firefox, a monthly subscription wouldn't change things.
And if you're a webmaster, add some crippling/inconveniencing logic if user agent equals chrome.
Yet I oppose your suggestion. Lets be above that.
