    I would so love if this causes an usage spike for Firefox, so that all websites and webapps start testing for Firefox compatibility again…

      The install counts for ad block extensions is surprisingly lower than you’d think.

      uBlock only peaked just shy of 30M users, so much less than 1% of general users. Obviously it’s not that cut and dry, but you get the idea. It’s unlikely they have much influence no matter where they go.

        You’re saying there are 3 billion Firefox users? That doesn’t sound right. Or you mean 3 billion chrome users?

        IDK that it’s much less than 1% of general users, considering it’s .4% of the total global population, and even as #1 not everyone uses Chrome on desktop (but also some people have multiple desktops…).

        But your point is still valid, if the roughly 1% desktop market share shifts to FF, not a lot is likely to change.
