uBlock in Firefox As the problem is chrome and not ublock
That's not what I asked, so not a particularly helpful comment given the context of my message.
It looks like you intended "is there a good alternative to uBlock in Chrome", but what you asked can just as well be interpreted as "is there a good alternative to uBlock in Chrome."

I switched to Brave and I haven't looked back.

It's a shame Firefox sold it's homepage to promote a shitty race-dividing movie, claim social activism, and has forever lost its reputation. We don't trust google, but it never lied. Firefox lied.
> it never lied It's motto was literally "don't be evil". It takes a significant mental leap to take your conclusion from it's behaviour.

On mobile I only see 8 ads between the text. Not really annoying like sticky ads. If the rest of the Internet would be like this it would acceptable for me. Most of the time the internet is more like fandom sticky ads bottom and top that plays videos or x that are so small that you click on the ads.
The issue with ads is not just the fact that they prey on your attention, but also that they're a well-known vector for malware. You should never accept ads, because the risk that matters most to you if you don't have good mental hygiene is your person (i.e. identity theft, financial damage).
I like the old school internet years ago where everyone put effort in websites as a hobby, but this was another time and good websites deserve making money.
I use Firefox, but I'm concerned that this move will change the narrative around the use of adblockers. Chrome is so dominant that if you have to go download a browser like Firefox with such a low market share, installing an adblocker can more easily be cast as something only techies who want to "pirate the web" do.

Yes, but it's the only way that keeps the internet alive. I like the old school internet years ago where everyone put effort in websites as a hobby, but this was another time and good websites deserve making money.

It will increase Firefox's market share. How much remains to be seen.
