@dalias @writeblankspace @nixCraft It also can't replace the blocked pieces, so scripts don't crash at the first broken assumption, and it can't make it seem that blocked ads aren't (so sites don't try to prevent you from accessing them with ads blocked). It can't automatically select only "strictly necessary" cookies in response to GDPR prompts. It can't rewrite links to remove the tracking information. And it definitely can't remove the ads and all the "suggested" garbage from a Facebook news feed (everything that's not from a friend, a page you followed, or a group you joined), which, once you see happen, you can't tolerate not happening.

Using a browser from a surveillance and advertising company and expecting to have privacy and control of your browsing experience was always trusting the fox to guard the hen house. If you do prefer Chrome's UI, though, you can always install Brave and spend a few minutes turning off the "sponsored" new tab page pictures and all the cryptocurrency and "AI" garbage. It supports the same ad blocking capabilities as Firefox, and though it comes with some misfeatures, unlike Chrome, it gives you the choice to turn them off.
