Here are a few reasons.
1. Ad blockers have a performance impact.
2. As blockers don’t have the number of uses that the browsers have, so I have seen websites routinely request to turn them off. However if the protection is built into the browser sites cannot ask users to switch to a different browser, they have to figure something out or suck in less data.
3. It’s also a vote against Chrome and Facebook telling them we really don’t want tracking. Switching away from Chrome is the best way to send a message.
