I am personally unaware of any serious reason to believe that Firefox’s numbers will improve soon.

Yeah about that. Manifest V3 will infuse Firefox userbase nicely come next summer.

Get out of the lemmy Foss bubble and ask again. I don’t know anybody that actually gives a fuck about manifest v3 tbh.

They will care about their adblocker no longer working

Do many real life users even know about ad blockers?

Given the amount of people all too happy to use Chrome on Android where you can’t block ads easily, I doubt it.

Because they haven’t been affected by Manifest v3 yet. As soon as they realise just what Manifest v3’s all about…They’ll give a fuck.

Savvy people may bother. Everyone else, who are much more numerically significant, still won’t.

The short of it is that Google wants to prevent ad blockers from working in Chromium based browsers.

I don’t remember if this is also planned for v3 or unrelated, but there was also talks of essentially DRM-ing the internet to block non-Chromium browsers.

Yeah, it’ll be more common knowledge when it hits next summer and current era of adblocking seizes to exist on Chrome.

People don’t care about anything until that thing hits them.
