I will wait and see. We could see Google pulling it’s weight to convince publishers to start blocking Firefox. Google is not just going to sit and watch its market share shrink.
Luckily for Americans, the EU actually kind of cares about monopolies and antitrust sometimes, and their market is large enough to force corporations to comply.
People are so used to seeing ads they probably wont bother, i have friends who work in IT who just acceppt that half of the sites they visit are full of annoying flashy and intrusive ads.
Yeah but if you tell them about ad blockers and show them how to install them, and they see how much better the experience is afterwards, then they’ll bother.
They said their friends work in “IT”. They have most definitely heard about adblockers and know how to use them, if this claim is legit. As a person who works in the tech field, I don’t know any coworkers who would not use adblockers. I find it kind of crazy to believe there are any IT professionals that don’t use adblockers, but I guess some must exist. Maybe they feel like adblocking is stealing or immoral somehow.
Wait until Google implements manifest V3 and “kills” adblockers. Firefox will become cool again for the normies.

They will get rekt by Vestager faster than they can say “profits”

Unlikely. If they are prompted to remove it, normies will do it.
The tech iliterate folk will ask relatives but not the normies.
yea my dad would not survive not having adblock on his evenly youtube sessions XD
