When Chrome first came out I stopped using it cause it didnt have adblock. Then when it did it was still crippled and I realized Google is in the Ad business so I never used Chrome since. This is very correct adblocking is a necessity, if they even include a Mozilla Adblocking DNS server for the browser thats fine to me. As long as I dont see ads.

I wont give up on Firefox anytime soon. I would love to see some serious competitors though.

I don't want my browser ignoring my DNS settings!

I would assume it would be opt-in if they went with this.

Everyone switched to ublock once adblock+ starting taking payments to not block certain ads.

Most people who care about adblocking will choose whatever browser suppoerts adblocking over anything else honestly.
