Sounds like Google hasn't communicated these technical changes nor their intentions very clearly at all. Just judging how there's multiple people saying different things in this thread for both.

It's clickbait fodder. Construing the manifest privacy changes as Google is blocking ad blockers is better clickbait than saying Apple safari is doing the same thing.

It's similar to when the internet blew up about Google's project dragonfly, which was cancelled, while Apple quietly did the same thing by sharing iCloud user data with the Chinese government.
