Saw this TUI (UK travel agency) advert today on the new tab page, and uBlock Origin can't block it

This narrows the possibilities down to ~~three~~ four interesting options.

  1. Mozilla did this, and you're the first person to talk about it online
  2. Your OS did this, and you're the first person to talk about it online
  3. A protected browser page got hijacked by malware on Linux
  4. You did this and forgot, somehow

Some other comments have been annoyingly dismissive, but I hope you push onward to figure out what the hell this is. Because if it's one of the first two, it's a big deal.
