By adblocking extensions I mean browser extensions that block ads from loading/showing up, and also, to certain extents, tracking analytics, which should be a large part of Google’s business model.
And companies like those have the reputation to restrict third-party options that affect their profits.
Are attracting/keeping the Chrome’s userbase more important ?
Are there “rules” preventing such behaviors ?

another thing to add is, not every user is aware about addblockers. many people who use googles arent that tech savvy. I know addblockers are advertised everywhere (hell saw an add for one on tv before…), but you;d be surprised how many people don’t have any on any internet-accessible device-or they just don’t care enough to have one because some people only are for the very basic functionality of google- search the odd thing up and that’s it.
people who pirate media like anime, watch a lot of youtube, etc feel the annoyance of adds more so than some random person who just wants to google ‘how many chickens are there in the world’ or ‘what’s the phone number of X place’
