> content-based adblocking requires tremendous resources

That's not true. On average any overhead in browsing performance introduced by ad blocking is compensated by the elimination of tracking and ads elements of the pages. It saves bandwidth and are better for UX. We can argue about business models but claiming it requires tremendous resources is not true.

And content-based ad blocking still works in chrome but in much more limited capability compared to superior browser like Firefox.
