Google threatening to take away the ad blockers was enough to make me go back to Firefox.

Manifest V3, Web Environment Integrity, YouTube's recent war on ad blockers.

The main issue is that now people just test their shit against Chrome. Maybe Safari if they're feeling generous. There's a few bits in Firefox Android where things just work a little bit less smoothly than they do in Chrome, and needing extra presses to work in FF. Not sure why, maybe Chrome is making clickable targets that little bit bigger or something.
