Iā€™m certain that by ā€œusersā€ what they really mean is ā€œpeople still using Chrome.ā€

Iā€™ve been having intermittent problems while using Firefox. Of course, all I need to do is clear the Ublockā€™s filters and re-load them.

Oddly, my brother who uses the same ad-blocker as me and Chrome hasnā€™t gotten a anti-AdBlock nag screen for months. No idea why.

Thatā€™s the majority of people?? Looks like the most recent number is 64% of people with 20% on Safari and the remaining ~17% split among the rest with Firefox (3%) not even beating Edge (5%)

Honestly the process to get ublock origin working is identical between the two of them, so being a chrome user doesnā€™t really make it any harder. Obviously still a better idea to switch, but for that specific problem, its the same.
