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

having a big banner ad at the bottom is not a vanilla experience

I wondered why this was downvoted before I saw the original message in my notifications

yeah, thanks Mr/Ms obvious, you described exactly the reason of why it does not look vanilla at all, that big giant bottom ad banner

Anyway, my point is that I would assume Firefox would look different if there was evidence the user caused this banner by accidentally injecting malware into the browser within Linux.
