The big reasons I'm against this is all the side effects. Yes, there will be more ads, but there will also be:

  1. More autoplaying videos on article websites
  2. Increased risk of malware from ads
  3. Decreased competition in the browser space
  4. Decreased competition in the OS space
  5. More tracking and data harvesting
