> Due to these poor ad experiences, the usage of extensions that block ads across the web continues to rise, up about 30% from just last year. This reduces the ability for publishers to continue creating free content and threatens the sustainability of the web ecosystem.

Is this the first step to remove ad blockers from Chrome? I guess that 30% also affects Google.

I don't think so. To me, that simply reads as Google providing support for their claim that users are increasingly frustrated by "poor ad experiences".
