That's because of Manifest v2 deprecation/removal. The new Lite is nowhere near as powerful as the old one, I've heard. (Not using the Chrome crap myself)
v3 version is still ok, i check it aginst site that have lot of ads (which i familier with .. ) and it actually work pretty well
adguard works not free but haven't tried yet; if anyone has experience using for years to comment on how good with OS, various browsers, mobile phones, tablets etc would be appreciated and the pain points I use chrome, edge, firefox, TOR, opera in installed or portable versions
