Let's just appreciate the fact that basically no other browser has this.

With chrome/ium you can't even block ads.

That's a lie sir. Brave blocks ads out of the box. Vivaldi also has ad block filters. You can add custom filters to both browsers. Also edge has shitty ad blocker. Kiwi browser supports almost all chrome extensions. Basically almost all except chrome and still you can block most of the ads using correct dns server.

We're talking about actual web browsers here, not spyware that uses your device to run a botnet

Firefox is as much botnet as others. Full of telemetry, diagnostics, pocket and other shit. That's why there are secure forks. Firefox in stock form is as much botnet as others. Also firefox is selling out to the same google so don't pretent it's better because it's not.

Accepting a ton of money from Google to make it the default search engine isn't selling out to them. Any concerned user will know how to change the default.

Sorry but even with all that said, you'll never lure me to the evil side. I'm sticking with Firefox until it dies an atrocious death

Firefox already supported ublock origin on mobile and a handful of other extensions. This is just them opening it up to more extensions.
