How about "nerfed adblockers"? Do any of the MV3 versions replicate the full power of ublock origin on Firefox? (https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-b...)

To keep with the current parlance, "safe adblocker" would seem to fit better. Safe for whom, I think we all already know.

Secure for whom?

Browser users. Pre Mv3 extensions were a huge vector for malware. My in-laws were hit by that.

You can write malicious MV3 extensions. The changes' stated reason was performance, not security.
