I see absolutely insane numbers on Google docs, 10000+ blocked. My total per year is now over 5 million. A lot more intense than a few years ago, where it took multiple years to reach 3 million.
Holy shit, I have multiple tabs open and have only been using Firefox as my default browser for about ~~1.5~~ 3-months (August 9th). Each YouTube tab has over 10k blocks and lifetime blocks since installation is over 4.1 million!
Edit: found the document I made in Obsidian to plan my move from Brave to Firefox and the created data is August 9th.
Wow I haven't even looked for all time blocks! I'll have to look...
