uBlock origin is far better, especially compared to this Manifest v3 version of AdGuard.

AdGuard are just doing this to capture the upcoming hole in the market as uBlock Origin stops working in Chrome.

Everyone should switch to Firefox.

This is pure anecdote and not apples and oranges, but I've found the ad-blocking experience with Safari/Adguard comparable to Firefox/uBO.

I have not. Now I need an other application running in the background. Moreover, if AdGuard needs to up, then you're going to need to restart Safari. Also, I have to enable 8 different extensions to get it to work?

AdGuard actually works as a regular Safari extension. The background application is only if you want to selectively block ads per site, or to run updates automatically. You can still open it to update filters and close whenever you want.
