I don’t believe that it really would have to. Any official government accounts likely are tied to the government Google organization. If you are talking about private accounts then Google can use the horde of data they have to tie government officials to private accounts.
Overall though, this is also following the belief that anyone in the government is smart enough to use ad blockers which I have my doubts. I don’t think any real high up government official uses ad block.
If you’re talking about when they’re in the office and on the job, chances are they’re not using Chrome at all, they’re using IE or Edge (depending on the Windows version deployed these days), with group policy pushed out from the domain that prevents installing any additional software (note: this doesn’t prevent the use of portable installs of software, uncompressed to their Documents/ subdirectory or something) (but most of those folks don’t know anything about portable software).
There is also a very good chance that they’re still blocking Youtube on NIPR for bandwidth management purposes.
I’ve no idea if US .govs are using Google Orgs for anything these days. When I was still a Beltway Bandit it was all Exchange with Outlook, all the time.
Until they start banning accounts for violating the tos. Then people with 20 years of emails are going to be lost without them.
That will absolutely include government accounts.
Google would get instagibbed.

They probably don’t.

Yes, shithead, the IT professionals tasked with setting up government computers do in fact know how to install a fucking browser extension.
Name-calling is NOT nice. Please, remember to be(e) nice at Beehaw.
For that pun you can fucking bee-low me.
