At some point, new ads the system can't block will surface. The adblocker will become less and less useful, and Google will have no incentive to improve it.

There is already a big difference between even existing adblockers. E.G: some show youtube ads.

And I'm much more worry about the privacy concern from many random ads poping unexpectedly, than from one extension that the entire community get to vet.

At some point adblockers will run a browser in a headless mode and use ML algorithms to show ad-filteret result to the user.
Good news, you can uninstall an extension.
