The title claims ad blockers will be disabled, and that is just not true. I would bet actual money that adblockers will continue to be available.
The functionality available to adblockers will change, and they will definitely have less flexibility. But nobody would say that Safari doesn't have adblockers, despite having a similar interface.
The "Google authorized updates to blocklist" bit looks like an even more blatant lie. Dynamic blocklists that aren't updated via Chrome Web Store are supported:

- DangitBobby 3y agoThe title implies that Chrome is disabling Ad Blockers, which if true would have been big news. What's happening instead is that MV3 is going to roll out just like we all knew it eventually would. All of the relevant implications for ad blockers have already been discussed at this point (including reduced functionality for some ad blockers such as Ublock Origin). "Read better" is not the problem here.
