The book looks great.

I want to build an ad-blocker.

Could you recommend a good open source projects to learn from?

Previous extension I made: www.fuckoff.yt



The best mv2 repository would of course be ublock origin: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock The best mv3 repository would be AdGuard's https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardMV3

For a generalized ad blocker, importing and updating filter lists is probably the most challenging bit. https://kb.adguard.com/en/general/adguard-ad-filters AdGuard has an amazing blog, their content is impressively broad and deep https://adguard.com/en/blog/how-ad-blocking-is-done.html


Thanks
