      If every single person that uses adblock decided to move to Firefox because of MV3, it wouldn’t make a single dent in Chromium’s dominance. We vastly overstate the amount of people that even know what an adblocker is.

        Nah it would make a big dent for sure.

        Firefox has ~180 million users

        Amount of users using adblockers is ~900 million.

        It would massively change the market.

        Numbers according to mozilla and statista

          There are at least 3.45 billion Chrome users (not chromium, chrome).

          Out of those ~900 million adblocker users, how many are using those adblockers that let paid advertiser’s to get on a whitelist? How many are willing to make an effort to change browsers? Firefox’s 180 million users is the indicative of this, and not all of them user adblockers, so the numbers keep getting thinner.

          It wouldn’t make a single dent in Chrome’s dominance.

            This is the hypothetical we are talking about. This is obviously not realistic so i dont know what your point is.
