I take your point that it isn't literally modifying the html of the web page--but if it was, wouldn't it look exactly like this? It does not visually look like a part of the browser chrome, it's in the webpage's space. Browsers aren't supposed to mess with that!

Wonder where that banner shows up in the DOM, in the dev tools console... ?

To be clear, I suspect it doesn't show up in dev tools, presumably it's rendered as part of the browser UI. But visually it doesn't look that way!

They absolutely DO mess with it if you have an ad-blocker installed on your browser.
Of course, the user explicitly installed the ad-blocker; the user didn't expect MS Edge to screw with the way the web page looks.
