They still are the fastest and the most secure, and Manifest v3 is faster than uBlock Origin since no javascript code needs to run.

I won't be using Chrome anymore once they implement this since I like my element-hiding rules which I wrote myself, but for the common rabble, Manifest v3 will be an improvement.

They could support declarative rulesets without disabling request blocking. And the request inspection API is still live, it seems; I wonder if this means SimilarWeb and other spyware peddlers can stay in business for now.

The speed difference is only noticeable in benchmarks. It's completely meaningless for humans. Manifest v3 will not be an improvement for anyone previously using uBlock Origin.

Disagree. Chrome feels snappier. Firefox stalls sometimes when rendering and can't achieve 60 fps on some websites I use. (Not Google properties)

That difference is very unlikely to be due to the nature of support provided for ad-blockers, though.
