I switched over to Firefox when I read that Chrome was limiting the functionality of ad block extensions and it's been a fantastic browser so far.

same, except it isn't fantastic but I can't suffer Google games anymore (also, my laptop is ancient)
I'll switch back to Firefox the day that happens. I don't think it's a compelling reason until that day though.
That day is already here my friend.
It is not, Manifest v3 hasn't been rolled out yet. It is in Canary already though. But it will take some time before it reaches stable.
With Manifest v3 in Canary it feels like there's no chance it won't reach stable in substantially the same form. Moving to Firefox now gives you a transition period where both browsers are viable.
Of course, it will be stable, but we can still enjoy Chrome's snappiness in the meantime... that's my point
I didn't know it was in Canary. I used Firefox for several months earlier this year before going back to Chrome. Due to this, my transition back to it will be pretty quick and painless.
