I dunno -- you've still got the moral right to use Firefox or Safari or a Chromium fork.

Ads and adblockers are always going to be a cat and mouse game, so I don't see any reason to complain.

Antitrust doesn't really enter the picture. Chrome doesn't even come preinstalled on PCs or Macs anyways -- you've got to go out of your way to choose to install it. So just don't, if you don't like it.

I don't think this is true. Google Meet, Youtube, etc all perform worse on non-Chrome/Chromium based browsers.

I do think that the world's most popular browser, being owned by the same entity that owns Youtube, actively working to block adblockers (adblockers which, do *not* harm Chrome but do harm Youtube) is something for regulatory bodies to take into consideration.
