The problem is this: Google cloud team probably want that chrome browser has more extensions, that extensions can control network flow (security, monitoring, etc.), and that it is easy to hot fix. On the other hand, Google ads team does not like extensions at all: especially if they can be used to block ads. Ads team has more $$ while cloud team are fighting hard to become relevant.
Thus the shitshow.

They shouldn't be able to just get away with it, we need to call them out every single time. The true leverage comes from increasing the relevance of Firefox and Brave, eroding their market power as much as possible. Users should have ad blockers and the ads team should be able to do exactly nothing about it.
