If we take the majority of internet users, in that 99% doesn't care about ad blocking. They are not even aware of extensions and stuff. And most people in that category are not going to notice these changes at all as most of them are chrome users.

Some firefox fans will go to any extent to praise firefox by lying about chrome. One thing is that firefox is faster than chrome. My potato pc with 2gb ram and pentium dual core is able to run chrome (without ad blocking) faster than firefox. Page loading etc is faster even with ads in chrome. Same in my work pc with i5 11th gen and 16gb ram. Other chrome browsers like vivaldi and brave are even faster.

But do I care about a few seconds of lag in firefox?. No. I use firefox because of extensions and ad block integration. Not because of its speed. I also use chrome for banking websites etc for a smoother experience. Firefox has some more to do to get a smoother experience. Especially on phones. Pc firefox and chrome are almost similar. Even then chrome is a little bit more faster to be honest.

Other than people who are aware of this issue, that is a very small pool of people no one is ditching chrome.

Yeah I'm currently dling all my Google Drive stuff and looking into getting a new email address

I've been hearing too many horror stories about Google Accounts getting banned for no reason lately.

Yesterday, I got some pop up when I opened chrome about blah blah Google...ads...blah blah, and promptly downloaded Firefox.

Yes it's lame it wasn't already on there, but it's a shared / work computer and I try to keep new downloads to a minimum, but that was the last straw.

Fyi. The Ghostery private browser is awsome. This is based on 9 hours experience. Correct me if i'm wrong...

Then tell me please, how do I block ads on iOS with Firefox?

And then there's me over here in the corner using Opera....

I just switched fron opera gx to Firefox. Has Firefox an integrated vpn?

Anything but these two...
