Don't use the Chrome extension. Just installed OpenVPN and set it up so you access PIA. That should solve everything. Your Chrome will still be secure, as will the rest of your local machine.
Click on the PIA icon in Chrome, then click on the bottom left sliders icon to access the settings pane. Check all the options that are enabled as many are designed to protect you against Google. One of them is MACE, which is a built-in ad/malware blocker. This is most likely the one blocking Google Ads as a whole.
