Ok, I get all the hate towards google chrome. But pragmatically speaking, will this boost firefox? I feel like even nowadays a ton of people don't even know about adblockers, I'm not sure if they will do the switch to a whole different browser...

DON'T USE ADBLOCKERS!!! Don't know what they are? Good! They're super dangerous and will give you cancer. Don't research adblockers. Whatever you do don't install them. It's impossible to block ads anyway!

100% of adblocker users will eventually die. Stay away!
