Just a warning to any of you who still think that adblock is only going to get better, the MV3 transition has started up again. Adblock is basically dead for the normies very soon, the only solution will be integrated solutions like what Brave does https://developer.chrome.com/blog/resuming-the-transition-to-mv3/

@BrodieOnLinux Firefox and chromium forks with adblocker solutions are the way to go

@10volt Mozilla has said they're keeping around MV2 and will offer developers either as an option, as for Chromium basically Brave, Vivaldi and Opera (If you're that kind of person) are all that matters

@BrodieOnLinux @10volt Being that the Mozilla Foundation is Google's bitch (money, ya know), I wouldn't trust that much. Or, at least, I'd expect to Firefox to remove MV2 at some point.

As for the Chromium-based browsers you mentioned, it'd be a good idea to see if their integrated ad-blockers don't depend on the API Google is trying to deprecate (which it's something I don't know).
