If he's fine with switching to Chrome, then he wasn't running Firefox for the right reasons anyway.
Chrome is proprietary spyware. If you care about privacy and/or open source, then you don't run Chrome.
Actual adblocking is never going to be possible on Chrome again. No one who wants a usable web will run it.
If the decision to discontinue the universally-detested Pocket was a strike against Mozilla for him, this man isn't worth listening to.
