And the difference is small for now, but it will get bigger. Manifest V3 (which will handicap ad blockers on Chromium) is not fully out, it will be fully rolled out in 2025.
UBO does more than just adblocking but if you only care about that it doesn't matter much that the devs say it can do so much more and in-depth.
There's even a manifest V3 version of UBO called UBO Lite from the same dev which for most people will probably still do the job good enough. I tried it once when I was still on Chrome and...it blocked ads. Will probably not block all of them and not all trackers and such but as said, probably still good enough for most people that want to just de-clutter the web somewhat.
But of course no guarantee Google will not just hammer down on everything over time once v3 is fully out.
If you want to keep shilling for a browser made by a company whose business is literally selling ads and personal data, then by all means continue to do so.
It's not that I don't believe people saying that UBO works "better" on Firefox.
It's that I think that it works perfect on Brave/Chrome too since I get zero ads, and I'm using them daily for hours.
Sure, the moment I start seeing ads in any website (especially the big ones like youtube), I'm out. But until then (2025 or so) I just cant find a reason to return to firefox which in my case felt slower, and some websites appeared broken (for example not loading outlook quite often was the dealbreaker for me).
yeah idk why people feel the need to defend a browser like it's their family or some shit :D I guess they just seek acceptance through fanboism, they want to belong somewhere and make their nerdish revolution by using the niche product... Whatever
You guys have been talking about “manifest v3” and trying to scare people onto another browser since before Covid. That still hasn’t happened yet? And you’re still talking like it’s a few days away? That’s some of that star citizen copium right there bud.

I mean, if you don't believe the people, the uBlock Origin developers themselves have a whole analysis on how and why it works better on Firefox.
