I think those sites are likely using Ad-Shield anti ad block, which is very agressive

Their own store has a dozen "AI Photo Editor Pro 2026" and "Turbo Deluxe Ultra VPN Secure Pro" apps that are "approved" and yet for sure have malware at worst and at best steals your data and serves nonstop pop up ads

eh, all the big motherboard makers like Asus MSI Gigabyte love to use that feature to load in their bloat as well on their motherboards
