Hello:
I ask for a simple integrated Ad removal for the linux platform.
Thanks.

Don't think this is possible unfortunately. The embedded Chromium (CEF) and Edge (WebView2) web browser engines don't seem to have any sort of browser extension capabilities. To do any sort of ad blocking you'd probably have to use a network-wide ad blocker like Pi-Hole or AdGuard Home or setup a HOSTS file, and even then those can only block ad domain names, they can't remove ad elements from a web page (aka cosmetic filtering). And domain name ad blocking certainly won't work on YouTube, Twitch, etc.
Even if you could add browser extensions to the embedded web browsers in about a year's time Google's Manifest V3 is going to be fully enforced, which right now in its current form will basically cripple all ad blocker browser extensions for Chromium-based web browsers.
