Twitter users, confused about the change, have voiced their anger about the move:

Is it a glitch or a strategic plan? A thread has been discovered on the Chromium project issue tracker detailing this as a bug that needs to be fixed, confirms Geek.com. “The bug seems to be related to hosted apps being treated as full extensions. So hopefully in the next few days the ad-blocking override will disappear” says the site.
The move comes a week after Google rolled out its AdWords Flash-based ads update, and Apple announced its plans to allow ad blocking software to run on its mobile Safari Browser.
