It would be nice if browser makers started bundling ad block by default.

  Those that aren’t financially supported by the blocked advertising often do.

  Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, and I'm sure others have built in ad blockers and even have it enabled by default. Firefox and Safari do not (they stop at built in privacy tracking). Of course every single built in blocker is vastly inferior, either intentionally (like Chrome) or just because uBlock Origin is that much better (like Vivaldi).

    Where is this built in ad blocker in Chrome? I have never seen this feature.

      It's on by default since 2018 and not very configurable, you can toggle it on a per site basis in the site settings of a site via the "ads" permission for that site. It of course exists to bolster the number of their ads that are viewed not actually block all ads https://blog.google/technology/ads/building-better-web-everyone/ https://blog.google/technology/ads/building-better-web-every...
