Sell computers with chrome preinstalled with a good adblock extension.

You can't, because the Chrome license is personal and non-assignable. If you enter into a contract with them to deploy them on computers, I assume this is precluded explicitly by the terms.

You could with Chromium, but that's problematic and annoying in minor ways. (Some of the things consumers value involve Google integrations).

What about selling computers that prompts to install ad blockers the moment the user downloads and installs Chrome?
Firefox then.
Your chrome id still is used to link you and the sites you visit.
I someday hope to see pihole like dns filtering built into residential routers.
I still dream of a Firefox OS device in the vein of a Chromebook. I was gutted when Mozilla abandoned Firefox OS.
I thought google was changing chrome so that adblockers can’t work anymore on that browser?
