Chrome’s ad-blocking plan could be a privacy disaster – and a reason to switch to Firefox....
TL;DR... Google is limiting how many rules that extensions can have. Ad blockers need ~300k to run effectively, Google will limit them to 30k in Chrome citing "privacy and a light weight user experience" as the reason. This change will effectively make ad blockers in chrome all but useless. The solution will likely mean switching to more privacy focused browsers, such as Firefox.

So you just need to to some regex magic to reduce the amount of rules?
