I agree but have a different perspective. The web is overrun with ads and user-hostile behaviors. Other browsers combat this in various ways (Reader View, Firefox's Tracking Protection, Safari's ITP) but Chrome basically does nothing. Websites work better with these features, not worse. And so long as Chrome is dominant, these protection features will continue to be effective, because there's not much incentive to defeat them. It's a bit like the blissful period when IE was dominant and still allowed popup windows. The div-style popups didn't take over until IE's popup blocker.
