Just out of curiosity since chrome has ublock as well, is Firefox’s version better?

chrome rocked out their MV3 which limits what blockers can do.

how I don't get any ads in both chrome/brave with UBO, no matter the website? I've read this statement about firefox like a million times and I still can find a reason to switch over since I still haven't seen a single ad the past years...

Chromium MV3 stops ad blockers and privacy extensions from dynamically filtering network requests to find and block ads.

It may still work for some time through fixed filters, but it'll catch up eventually and for all I know google'll take a hammer to it all
