Well I'm sorry to be a broken record, but I think the best answer is to switch to a browser (and/or browser engine) that isn't trying to kill content blocking & user choice for profit.
But we do not, and we need to work with what we have.
I do use Firefox for all my personal browsing, but on my work machine I am more or less required to use Chrome.
And it's not even a Manifest v2/v3 issue for me, but our corporate security policies include a whitelist of allowed extensions, and ad blockers are not on the list.
Don't get me started on how dumb that is from a security standpoint, given the crap that can sometimes come in via ad networks, but it is what it is.
Manifest v3 doesn't kill content blocking. It's the chrome web store that doesn't want to accept extensions that have broad permissions like being able to read and modify data from any site from install.

Manifest v2 works and while there's a minority of user effected by scrupulous extensions the vast majority of the time it works fine.
