The answer to "Random ad blockers are dangerous" is not: Let's cripple all adblockers to safeguard our "users".
The obvious answer is create a review process similar to what Firefox did. Maybe Google should use some of their 0.0001% annual income to contract a full time review team to protect us against rogue extensions.
I think an honest interlocutor would look at what's behind Big Corp double speech:
Google: Protect ad-revenue while pretending to protect users.
Apple: Protect Apple against government pressure while pretending to protect the children.
