Comment (by cypherpunks):

 They (Chromium folks) also now have adblockers for *some* sites by
 default: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/12/better-ads

 That's still better than the current situation where we (TB users with
 not-so-fast CPUs) have to deal with bloated websites and can't block those
 damn trackers since we'll become easily fingerprintable.
