"This will ensure certain types of add-ons, like ad-blockers, continue to work best in Firefox" clearly means that MV3 makes ad blocking worse, not entirely disabled. How can you get "no more ad blocking" out of that ?

Again, no. MV3 (the specification) does not do anything to ad blocking. Chrome's implementation of MV3 does.

For precision, I should have said "significantly worse ad blocking", not exaggerated as "no more ad blocking".

This is all sophistry. The spec is irrelevant, what matters is only the implementation and the fact that Chrome has a crushing dominance.
How does Chrome’s implementation matter in an article about Firefox?
In a market so crushingly dominated by one monopolist, everything is about what the monopolist does.
