I bet far more people got scammed by malicious ads than people deciding to install malicious extension.

Well, you’d need to compare the number of people pwned by ads that couldn’t be blocked by MV3-style adblocking rather than all ads.

Static rule based adblocking works just fine for me on iOS so I’m not going to assume that’s going to be a large number of people.
