This is outright fraud and I would not be surprised if the author receives a cease and desist from Google and likes.
While I am full for adblockers (your choice not to be exposed to ads), this extension is designed to intentionally harm others people business and cause them monetary loss which is considered a crime in many jurisdictions.
To the mods of HN: why do you allow such grey-zone tools to be published here?
