Might be they'll replace actual websites with Google own version to keep people in Google controlled ecosystem?
Or change APIs in their own nearly-monopolistic browser to make ad-blockers less efficient?
Or not implement extensions in their own browser so there are no ad-blockers at all?
Or push their user tracking system disguised as solution to increase privacy?
Or degrade quality of Google services when using competeting browsers?

Apple News replaces websites with only Apple News. AMP allows anybody to host the article. > Or change APIs in their own nearly-monopolistic browser to make ad-blockers less efficient. Only one browser has done this so far. It's Safari. Google might not be a good actor, but trading it for a worse actor who won't let you use any other web clients is just cutting off your nose to spite your face.
