Based on the article, I didn't see any evidence they are shutting down chrome add-ons. I'm really lost on why people are getting the impression of that. When Google made Google+, they didn't block you from visiting Facebook, why would this be different

By 'keeps' I didn't mean Google would programmatically block ad blockers but remove enough of the annoying ads that people wouldn't think using a total blocker is necessary.

Google already has a history of banning extensions and apps. For example, ad blockers are against the Google Play ToS.
