Firefox's change to WebExtensions kills adblockers?

I suppose this was more or less inevitable when the major competitor folded and started using Google's extension structure.

It's not like changing browser will help now. You WILL have a bloated ad-laden 'experience', the advertisers control all the browser customisation.

Maybe Mozilla and Microsoft together will have the clout to fork it?
