Then I will stop browsing them? I stopped using Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit quite easily. I can do it with others if they're going to go down this route.
Until they hit something you need if you want to function in the modern world.
Internet Explorer tried real hard to do that. Pages were literally built only to run "properly" in IE.
Curious what round 2 would look like.
In a world that now has stronger cryptography, attestation and surveillance capabilities? I can assure you Round 2 would go vastly different. There would also not be a Round 3.

Like what? Bank websites don't really use ads. And I don't use LinkedIn.
Bank sites don't necessarily need to want to block ads to implement something like this. They will just see the headlines that say "this is more secure" and that will be enough for them to buy in to it.
Hope you never need to read the news, access your bank account, or buy anything online then.
If my non us bank forces me to use Chrome in order to access my account online, they're gonna get a call from me
