Here's a few:
- performance gains from optimized machine code
- CNAME adblocking, which is otherwise not possible on Chromium-based browsers
- robustness against potential changes from upstream (i.e. Manifest v3)
And, not exactly adblocking, but other privacy protections that are only possible with a deep level of control over browser APIs:
- advanced fingerprinting protections, including subtle randomized perturbations of canvas reads, fonts, user agent, etc.
- ephemeral storage sandboxing for third-party content
