I'm using Firefox but is it not possible to block ads in chrome too?
If they haven't already, Google is in the process of disabling ad block extensions on all chrome based browsers. There have been a ton of posts about this on Lemmy.

Not when they roll out manifest v3
It won't be possible in the future. It should be happening soonish if I'm remembering correctly. There's a change to how add-ons will be allowed to work in chrome.
