> Google claims to be cracking down on apps that are using the VPN service to track user data or rerouting user traffic to earn money through ads.

Okay. Those are essentially malware anyway. As long as uBlock Origin is not affected I see no problem with Google "cracking down" on anything.



> However, these policy changes also apply to apps that use the service to filter traffic locally on the device. Apps such as Blokada v5 and Duck Duck Go. Specifically the policy does not allow for “Manipulating ads that can impact apps monetization”.


I don't trust those apps. If uBlock Origin was affected, I think they would have mentioned it.
