Until you recognize that ad-blocking works properly and will continue to work properly in Firefox.

I don't care if the site renders renders even 5000x faster if it's not making an actual impact on usage, or if it becomes unreadable due to ad's.

Firefox has grown support for Manifest V3 in addition to keep the blocking web request API from Manifest V2. What do you mean? Firefox is progressing with the all the other competing browsers.

I note that Chrome's progress with the switch to Manifest v3 is now on hold.
