It can only accomplish #1 and #2 for 30k rules, most of which must de defined at the time of the extension release/update. As soon as that limit is exceeded an adblocker loses it's ability to accomplish #1, #2, #3, #4, or #5 effectively.

And if we are being honest about those limits, they have already been exceeded. Ublock origin is going from 100,000 to 500,000 dynamic rules to just 30k rules(only 5k of those can be dynamic) in the lite version.

Adblockers have absolutely been neutered in v3.
