IDK why anyone uses anything else. It has street cred, it improves response times, it is ideologically just about blocking ads

I use tracker blockers and containers too, but every machine that has been in my hands for more than 10 minutes has it installed

Because they're still on Chrome based browsers. It's not really about the ad blocker, it's about the browser. You're not going to beat Google at their own game using the tools that they gave you.
