Ad blockers will continue to function as they currently do. However, users may need to explicitly allow the ad blockers whitelisted access to all hosts if this feature is implemented with default-deny.

Which is entirely reasonable IMO.

They should implement default-deny. It'll take two seconds for users to grant the permission, and the vast majority of extensions don't need it.
