  I don't actually use an ad blocker on Firefox, just NoScript.  (I
don't object to advertisements (I recognize stuff costs money), just
obnoxious/slow/insecure ones.)  I do use a cookie control (Permit
Cookies gives me easy "deny by default, grant as desired" operation.)

  Reportedly, neither are easily possible with Chrome right now.  And
also reportedly, the ad blocking on Chrome is inferior to what's
possible on Firefox.  Chome is limited to CSS-based mechanisms, so
instead of blocking the ads, they just hide them; this is also
supposed to be easier for ad designers to bypass.
