I wish, but I don't see it happening. Most people are just content with seeing ads absolutely everywhere, I just don't get it.

Daily plug for Cromite: https://github.com/uazo/cromite

Chrome, but it doesn't suck, doesn't track you, and it has good, fast native adblock.

Also in some linux repos now. I know its in CachyOS. And it's on Android, too.
