Wouldn't people just leave? I feel like that's such an easy thing to do these days. If they are too old, they probably weren't using Chrome anyway and default to edge since its just there. I know not everyone would, but I wonder what the percentage would be in the end. They have been killing it themselves lately with the removal of the blockers. I've been on Firefox for over a decade now. If Firefox did something like this, I would be gone in a day.
The vast majority of people will keep using whatever they are already used to unless there’s egregious changes that impact their workflows. Even then they might not move.
Never underestimate people’s stubbornness to stick with enshittified platforms.
