Showing an ad every three months is not OK. Showing ten in a week is especially not OK. <Plonk>

Had this installed on a work laptop and just started experiencing a new tab being opened and redirecting without warning. I thought I had installed something that was potentially mining data and immediately feared that I might get fired. Turns out, by process of elimination, it was this extension. It now adds a button to the YouTube video interface and occasionally opens a new tab to market the Manganum extension. I do believe this violates the "Misleading or Unexpected Behavior" policy of the Chrome Web Store. Not cool. Unethical. My browser is not free ad space. Yes, AdBlock does do something similar very infrequently. I disagree with this too, but am willing to allow that because I know what to expect, and crucially, I am willing to trust them.
