Careful, google bans Web extensions that interferes with ads (AdNaseum). Only problem is ad blockers got too popular before they made Chrome.

I’m assuming you means from Chrome’s extension store (not sure why they call it)

While they can be installed manually with extra steps, there are also other browsers out there.

Don't worry, Google will just "accidentally" break compatibility for those extensions in a way that's totally not just anticompetitive behaviour, because they've never done that sort of thing, like breaking other Google properties undermine Firefox before, no sir.

They've made it so you basically can't keep non Chrome store extensions installed on Windows. At least not without a nag every day.
I wish they banned adblockers, because then people would move on to Firefox in droves. It would be a killer feature and reason to use Firefox.
