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

I think it may be vanilla. They add those "thought provoking stories" for users in certain markets based on Pocket. OP should just try disabling all the "show me ads on the homepage" settings and I wager it would all go away.

wasn't Pocket discontinued? I never used it, but that would make sense
