Cynically, I wonder if this is a plan to:
1. Provide a comparable ad-blocking service as other ad blockers.
2. Squeeze out the market share of existing chrome extension ad blockers.
3. Nuke the API's the extension ad blockers are using to block ads.
4. Slowly degrade the only remaining ad-blocking service ( theirs ) to open us all back up to aggressive ads.
