alt Hacker News> Look at how many in Kaspersky’s list are advertised as ad blockers
By my count 5, 6 if we include "Autoskip for Youtube", out of 34. That might be an argument for dropping extensions, but I don't think it's an argument for breaking ad blockers.

Those extensions used the same API that ad blockers used, but for malicious purposes.
So, you would support removing that API? Well, that’s what they did for MV3 and implemented an API just for ad blocking.
