The problem is that Google is able to more or less dictate how the web works at that time. Apart from Firefox and Safari, which both only have a minor market share, pretty much everything is Chrome based.
If Google wants to push some silly idea just to ensure that their silly ads are not blocked, then they'll do it. I fear that noone really can stop this stupid idea.
Governmental regulators need to be involved. But I don't have my hopes up.
