I don't think it's fair to say that google developed chrome to prevent users from blocking ads - adblock users make up such a small percentage and likely non-optimal demographic of Internet users that I don't think google's worried abot that.

Eric Schmidt said in an interview about chromeOS that google's goal is to improve user experience on the Internet as a whole; google's revenues are directly correlateable with total hours spent on the Internet. If you look at google's efforts from that point of view, they don't seem quite so scary ;)

Take a look at the note from the NoScript developer that was posted here yesterday:

  Maybe Google plans to implement the missing stuff later,
  maybe they’re still trying to figure out whether it can be
  done without enabling effective ad blocking, but in the
  meanwhile the pale AdBlock and FlashBlock imitations which
  have been hacked together by overwhelming popular demand, are
  forced to use a very fragile CSS-based hiding approach,
  ridiculously easy to circumvent.
