Google execs sounded the brown note :D I installed ad-blockers on all relatives computers after those "you have a virus" full-page ads that talked my mom into calling someone, handing over her credit card, and giving them remote control over her computer. I see no reason to remove them now; what's the consensus on when chrome starts blocking competing ad-blockers?

Firefox. But I very seriously doubt that's going to happen.

If this ad-blocking is baked into Chrome on Android and Chrome on Android doesn't get extensions, then Chrome on Android essentially has a built in ad-blocker and blocks all competing ad-blockers. Chrome on Android currently has no extensions. If you want to block ads within the browser on Android, Firefox + uBlock is your best bet.
