No... It will mark the end of some of them in Chrome. Not in general.
What actually happens is that some people move away from Chrome, because ads suck.
And mark the end (actually a while ago) of my use of Google Chrome. What a xrap browser it has become.
You might not know, but you can say "crap" on the internet.

Well, I'll keep practicing.
Bullshit, there are other, better browsers who do not intentionally break basic security features like ad blocking. Switch to Firefox and Ublock Origin or any of the many forks it has.
If you are using Chrome, Brave, or similar, you should stop using it and switch to something that isn't shit. Ads are a major attack vector for malware and scams. If you are not blocking them already , you need to start immediately!
Brave has a built-in ad blocker based on uBlock. There are lots of reasons people don’t recommend Brave, but the lack of an ad blocker isn’t one of them.

Ublock Lite works just fine for me
Spent the last couple weeks moving my stuff off Chrome. Not convenient but well worth the effort. If you're not on Chrome they're doing us a favor. Sites will be less likely to target ad blockers if the majority of users don't have them installed.
But the majority of users don't have them installed. Plus Google is pushing Manifest v3 with intent. They aren't content with most. They want everyone to stop using them.
I will form a home-policy that allows me to only buy alternate products that were not advertised to me. Goodbye "Tide" hello "EconoSuds". If I see your ad, you are off the list.
Why wouldn't you just switch to a non-Chromium browser instead?
