> I'd agree with you if ad & tracking blocking was mainstream

But isn't Eich making the argument that it is mainstream? That's the whole reason I'm quoting him here.

Which is it?

Is Eich correct that the "enormous growth of ad-blocking by people across the globe" is evidence of some desire on the part of a global community to fight back on the ability of internet giants to track us?

If so, isn't this evidence that this phenomenon is already "regular" without needing any further "regulation" by the state?

He's trying to eat his cake and still have it.

There being a desire to fight back does not mean that this fight is effective or avoiding an arms race (which is wasting resources for everyone).
