Those are some nice clean designs. Still waiting for email development to become modern so that the usage of tables is reserved for actual tables and not the design 😂

Ahh, it's something added by an extension you are using. 😊 You can check the github repo for the actual html versions.

FYI: I don't have any ad in the website so I am not sure why it is even added there.

There's a typo on one of the cards btw, out instead of our- "All out templates...".
