I doubt most people use an adblocker.

Anyone who's aware of these issues or cares about them really should have been smart enough to switch to Firefox a long time ago.

    A lot of people do use Adblockers. https://backlinko.com/ad-blockers-users

    You can try other sources as well. The statistics say significant numbers on multiple places.

    46% global and 27 USA? Damn the us people are even more tech illiterate than I would've guessed. I suppose the 85+% market share of the iPhone among teens has something to do with it.

    I wouldn't personally call 42% that high and by definition not most.

    A big enough hit if 42% of Chrome users switch to a different browser.

    However, I wouldn't be surprised to see that people with adblock are more likely to use something other than Chrome. And some people will stay with Chrome and deal with the lack of adblock.

    You can also do that with Firefox on your computer.

    It's not in settings, but you can easily google the instructions.

    Google used to be like "we have found 10 quadrillion websites with your term" and you could click page 173 and it would give you the list for as many times as you wanted to click

    Then they went to giving you several pages but if you clicked past page two they would be like hahaha psych there are actually only two pages of results for "starcraft two newbie tips"

    Now I'll search for specific phrases I know I read somewhere and I'll get like, three god damn results.

    Really? On the entire internet? Three results?

    It's just disrespectful and insulting

    Which makes this even more annoying. Like you have good chunk of the world using your browser with ads, but you still want even more and are still taking these types of scummy actions.
