One does not choose web browsers on adblocking capabilities alone. Some may need Chromium features that FF do not have, so it’s nice to have options, even if one specific feature (i.e., adblock) is just 80-90% as good as the other.

I choose a web browser based on ad blocking capabilities alone.

If I want to do development I can do that in a different browser. Web developers should have all major web browsers installed anyway.

Agree. Even if not a web developer, one can use different browsers for different purposes at the same time.

Like what? I use Chrome and FF and I can't really see a difference, other than one has advertisements the other does not.
ublock even blocks YouTube video ads.
The new server side rendered ads are not blocked on firefox though
Yeah, the built-in blocker in Brave does, too.
