Would a browser extension that just moved AdWords to the bottom of the page be banned from the chrome web store?

I'm sort of tempted to try this, but if so I guess I should start backing up my gmail account...

Tried this on a few search result pages, seems reliable so far.

document.getElementById('center_col').appendChild(document.getElementById('tvcap'));

Desktop extensions aren't, but perhaps GP is remembering a similar situation with mobile ad blockers and the Play Store. https://techcrunch.com/2016/02/09/google-reverses-its-decisi...

Some are, usually youtube api abusers. They try to walk the line pretty well with their TOS.
