What makes ad replacement malware? Presumably the users don’t care as long as the replacement ads aren’t of horrible quality. It’s definitely a bit cheeky, but malicious? I don’t think so.
This seems like a fairly benign monetization scheme, it’ll hurt some sites that depend on ad revenue but not any more than adblockers.
