I'm a screen reader user. It's similar for me, accept if I really wanted to navigate around the ads I suppose i could. However i do have chronic migraines, so that reduces my ability to care about ads. Or X embeds, Or facebook sharing widgets. So no, it isn't just an ad thing, it's a let's not take a whole bunch of energy to navigate a page thing.
I sympathise. It annoys me to no end that accessibility seems to be an afterthought on the modern web. Another thing for me is that popups annoy me. If I get too many modals pop up on a page, I get emotionally frustrated. This is quite common these days with some websites– all it takes is one GDPR cookies modal and an AI chat popup in the bottom right corner– and that's already way more frustration than my brain can…
I really do not like cookie consent popups! I've installed extensions to try and block them, oh and you know what else I try and block? Those AI overlays that say they're trying to make the web more accessible. Because they really aren't doing the thing they say they're supposed to be doing.

Is it not in their own interest to be the only ad blocker?
I'm not sure why it would be in their own interest to be the only ad blocker. What do they gain by not allowing other ad blockers?
It elevates them into the "main protagonist", and I'm not necessarily against that, I just don't want ads shoved down my throat.

same, but it does have a warning: "This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions."
No, it does not. Firefox still fully supports those manifest v2 handles.
People keep saying that and it's true. Also every extension on firefox that I installed said "I need permission to do whatever i want with your browser", which made me really uncomfortable
