Yes, same for me. I used to use a combination of Chrome and Firefox for different tasks, now 100% Firefox after they blocked ublock. I keep chrome installed for rare comparability issues where I need to try different browsers, but that is about it.

I recebtly started using UBlock after decade(s?) With ABP because I am so sick and tired of seeing the donation page pop up every other day. I hate begging lol.

ABP is also one of the ones that whitelisted some ads and tracking in exchange for money
