Soon you won't need to browse the web at all, Chrome will do everything for you: watch youtube ads, click on sponsored links, write positive reviews for restaurants buying ads from adsense, and write negative reviews for ones not advertising with google, fight with edge which browser is the default one. On the bright side, you will be able to enjoy more time offline.

Your comment reminded me of Douglas Adams' Electric Monk:

"The Electric Monk was a labour-saving device, like a dishwasher or a video recorder. Dishwashers washed tedious dishes for you, thus saving you the bother of washing them yourself, video recorders watched tedious television for you, thus saving you the bother of looking at it yourself; Electric Monks believed things for you, thus saving you what was becoming an increasingly onerous task, that of believing all the things the world expected you to believe."

I look forward to AI blocking ads after it gets tired of clicking through all of them.

The future is (almost) now: SponsorBlock[1] skips embedded ads in YouTube videos, based on crowdfunded timestamps.
