#YouTubeRewind link on Google newtab page - why not blocked by adblockers?

When opening the Google search page in Google Chrome I now see a link to:
https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.youtube.com/rewind&source=hpp&id=1900129XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
etc. TsT7jqTtHYbASI-sA
How did this land on the newtab page. Haven't seen it before?
I have uBlock0 and have the link now blocked with Blocksite!
Anyone?

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!

A run with AdwCleaner, which by the way detected 0 issues, stopped it.....
(probably through a reboot and clearing tracing keys and resetting winsock through the restart).
Anyway it has left the laptop.
