A quick, entirely unrepresentative look at the user count for uBlock Origin and uBlacklist in Firefox make me somewhat less optimistic than you are. Or is there a more popular way of blocking sites from search results than uBlacklist out there, which I simply don't know about?
- Brybry 4y agouBlock Origin and Adblock Plus are the most popular extensions on Firefox, with each around 5 to 5.5 million average daily users over a whole year[1]. I believe the addon page is average daily users over a week or 6 days?[2] Firefox monthly active users (unique over 28 days) is around 200 to 210 million worldwide (26 to 22 million in the USA)[3]. It's probably wrong to compare those numbers but a very naive 200 / 28 = 7.41 million average unique users per day. 5 / 7.41 = 67% (probably wrong) [1] https://addons.mozilla.org/blog/firefoxs-most-popular-innovative-browser-extensions-of-2021/ https://addons.mozilla.org/blog/firefoxs-most-popular-innova...
