No one is moving to Firefox, because most people don’t care. Just like people stay on Reddit or X, they are going to stay on chrome. Google will feed them shit and they’ll ask for more.
All we can do is worry about ourselves and keep trying to make alternatives viable.
The moment adblock stops working I’m out. Haven’t made the move yet because I’m lazy and because none of the stuff people tak about has affected me yet. Even youtube works without having to do anything.
Moving to Firefox is long overdue, though. Kinda waiting for that push now.
Well i’m in the same boat a few weeks ago but my pc can’t start for some reason and have to reinstall windows, and since every app is wiped i just switched to firefox from then on.
The file still there, just that in the process of reinstall windows it also uninstall all app, so i just thought “meh” and start all over again. Now i don’t have to clean unused app and obsolete website bookmark myself 🙈
I mean, I did. I never thought I would, because I use dev tools all the time and I was worried it would be a problem, but it wasn’t. I don’t miss it. Firefox is fine!
People: If you’re trying to decide whether to switch, just do it! It’s good for the internet and it didn’t even take that long to import my bookmarks, install all the same extensions, and increase the tiny tiny font size of tab names. Like, maybe twenty minutes all tallied up. Worth it!
This tactic seems short-sighted to me. It will force migrate people to firefox.

If people care about using adblock, they will.
Most people don’t. How do you think in 2023 Google is still raking in millions of dollars nonstop?
By cheating, being anticompetitive, and strong arming with legal action.
…And by having millions of people view ads.

Can you at least recover your files? Been here a couple times. I mean, it’s Windows. 😝
My goto for quick? Backup: • %ProgramData% • Your user folder: Users\yourname
Most apps can be reinstalled. Their settings are in programdata and appdata usually. Anything else you might need is probably in the registry.

Choice of browser is nothing like the choice of social media, the fuck are you talking about??
One of THE biggest reasons Redditors didn’t leave was because there was more content and already established communities niche as well as large.
With a browser change, you still get the exact same content. Worthless comparison
This will make many of them care.
It’s not “no one”, Because I left reddit and I left chrome. Lemmy and Firefox!
But yeah not many people will actually do it.

Bad for Google, good for the world
Nah, it’ll just force an evolution of adblocking methods and tech.
