Personally, I eventually got used to FF because it has good extension and adblock support on Android.

Every mobile browser that isnt chrome does major UI overhauls every 12-18 months and that is never fun.

My shortcut for launching Chrome has --disable-features=ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported,ExtensionManifestV2Disabled on the cmdline, so all the good blockers still work.
At least for now. 😂

They have a handy FAQ that explains most of the functional differences:

Cookie blocker == AD blocker.

Some more granularity with other settings, including lists, and dev mode.

uBlock Origin Lite isn't terrible. It's less capable than the Firefox version, but still meets the core need.
