Isn't it only something like 1 in 4 people who use ad-blockers in the first place? Of those, how many actually use uBlock Origin? Also, outside FF, aren't all noteworthy alternatives Chromium at this point?
- wolpoli 4y agoI should have said the mass of ad-blockers users migrating instead of mass of users. Yes, only a percent of people use adblockers on desktop and even less people use them on mobile, which is the dominant source of traffic these days. It might move the needles of market shares for the alternate browsers. No, we don't have any alternative to Chromium other than Firefox and Safari. But for the Chromium based browsers, Brave and Opera do have built-in adblocking independently of Manifest V3 [1]. Vivaldi claimed that they might maintain an alternate store [1]. So all three alternate browsers have the option to offer better level of ad-blocking to get more installs. Of course, they could also decide to monetize with an "Acceptable ads" program after they gain market shares.
