Makes sense from a security standpoint. The less control you allow addons, the less damage a malicious addon can do. But adblocking is so important, hopefully a reasonable compromise can be made.

Think about who is doing this and how they make their money. There won't be a "reasonable compromise".

Stops addons from being malicious, to allow malicious ads because the ads pay.

Chrome is google. If you use anything google, you get what you deserve.

Please don't spin this as just "people don't want to see ads, boo-hoo". Content filtering extensions are used for a whole lot more than simply blocking ads, in a world where web designers are shoveling more and more unwelcome and obnoxious shit down the pipe by the day. For example dialogs that are embedded in the webpage where you are forced to interact with them before continuing, Javascript that records all your mouse movements, trackers, etc etc.
Smart people know that the objective here is to transform the Internet into TV or radio, where the client gets exactly what is sent to them from the server, no more no less, and has zero control of it or how it works whatsoever, except perhaps for the option to turn it off.
