Do you have a minute to talk about our lord and savior Mozilla Firefox?
Nope. Many Chromium forks already have very good inbuilt adblockers , which won't be affected by the MV3 stuff. On top of that, one could also use system-wide blockers such as AdGuard and DNS-level blockers (which is not even a bad idea if you're on Windows anyway).
System wide ad blockers can't block a lot of ads, namely same-domain ads or those that are built into the html. Much rarer than the external page kind (DNS ones) thankfully.
Namely, Youtube ads
AFAIK, AdGuard can block same domain ads. I'm not talking about AdGuard DNS, I'm talking about AdGuard app/program.
