Google is weakening ad blockers as part of their MV3 extension standard and this will trickle down into all Chromium browsers. Built in ad blockers lack features compared to uBlock Origin as well.

    It was referring to this part:

    some people will want to stay on Chrome. So for them, this IS a problem.

    They want to keep using a product even though they don’t like it. A product that is free to use just like most of its alternatives.

      Maybe they like/need some parts of it, but not others.

      Eg - Firefox lacks native support for progressive web apps. Chrome has that, and it’s tremendously useful.

      For a regular everyday user, the perception is that Chrome works while Firefox does not.

      You’re not going to persuade people that Firefox is the better option by sneering at them and making them feel small or stupid for not having made the same choice as you.

      So sure, try to persuade people to at least try changing browsers. But don’t act like they’re idiots if they don’t, or haven’t yet.
