There is no cname uncloaking in chrome. Load up Firefox + ublock pick any heavy site and you can see the items that cname cloaked.

How does CNAME cloaking increase the number the adverts in Chrome compared to Firefox?

Because CNAME cloaking allows obscuring some ads, so uBlock won't be able to trigger on them if it can't pierce the veil. On Firefox it can, on Chrome it reportedly can't.

I thought CNAME cloaking was being used to get around third party tracking protections rather than delivering advertising. Does anyone have examples of CNAME cloaking being used to display advertising because I haven't been seeing more adverts on Chrome compared to Firefox.

I think most tracking is not visible to the user, as in seeing an ad.

About CNAME, I think this is what you're looking for:
