I was just going to mention that I don't like when designers put these system-specific icons in a place where user content can also go. Someone can just use a favicon with a black "Ad" text and it will look just like Google's own ad indicator, which then becomes a candidate for phishing or at the very least can mislead users into thinking they are clicking on vetted ad content. The previous design where there was a dedicated location for the "Ad" indicator is clearly much better. I am surprised by this change.
