I look left and right, and I'm the only one who still uses Firefox.

This is too simplistic, isn't it? At work maybe we have no choice. My AdBlock is still working on YT. So I don't need to bail on Chrome yet. (I did, but I didn't need to.)

What happens as the ad blockers get worse, as Google disables more and more functionality? This will be the fun time. It's not hard to switch browsers, after all. And people know this. So of course they don't worry about it.

I think the author is lamenting this attitude: it's not hard to switch browsers, as long as those alternatives exist and remain viable. That gets less and less likely as fewer and fewer people use the alternatives.
