I'll spoof the user agent because that shit is disgusting.
If it actually targets ad blockers and not FF in particular, that won't do much other than telling all the websites you visit that yet another user is using chrome and not FF.
I didn't do it so take it with a grain of salt but people were saying they saw improvement in loading when changing the used agent to chrome.
I saw others reporting a similar issue in Brave. 🤷♂️
Oh well, we'll see how it plays out, right now there is a lot of speculation going on
There are other ways to detect FF, but they can almost always be worked around with enough effort.
