I really wonder if this will make any people move from Chrome to Firefox at all because they can't use their adblockers anymore. There are probably so few people that most of them already are on Firefox I guess.
I already moved to firefox, this made me think about stop using google drive and gmail too.
Technically I would be fucked if google decided to just block my account and they have demonstrated they will do it if they feel like it
(the case in 2022 about someone sending picture of their own baby to the doctor and was automatically flagged for it. google blocked that persons account and didnt unblock it even though it was proven he did nothing wrong. The pictures werent even sent via gmail, i think, so google just scanned their private photos.)
I have separate account for youtube, but I worry in the future they might connect it to my main account and start threatening to ban it if i continue using adblock. Now i'm also kind of worried if google decides in the future that something is unacceptable, like making comments against corporations or something.
