Last time I checked, Google Chrome doesn’t offer an alternative API that allows efficient ad blocking.

In contrast, Apple has introduced & provided the API for a few years, and popularized the idea of mobile win ad blockers.

I can’t see how Apple is doing ‘pretty much the same as Google’. Can you clarify?

Google is adding essentially the same thing with Manifestv3 and has been raked over the coals for it.
