general

Most normies don't adblock on phones

there's no reason to piss off the small number of desktop users

who will just circumvent this anyway

I mean... at the most basic level

just run a script, rather than an extension

not to even touch upon the other 100 ways to circumvent this

other chromium based browsers

and to be fair

I use hostfiles and adblocking

so even if it all fails, I still wont see the ads

and you aren't a normie like Pika

@Phijkchu_Pikachu you hear that? you normie

I'd just switch browsers at that point

Even Pika though, can probably manually add an extension

or that

there are 3 step wiki-how tutorials

barring that, they'd probably just use Tapermonkey or something

And then after that, install Brave or some other knock-off Chrome browser

brave ew

Edge is chromium now

or will be soon

Also, looking at what's actually going to """kill""" adblockers

all this means, is extensions need to optimize their shit

why would a normie go for a knockoff instead of just using firefox?

and not rely on bloated lists to block shit

or just use host files

appaK

Leg, sit down for this

No one wants to use FF

I tried FF

it just

isn't what I want it to be

I use FF once in a blue moon, when I need to have 4 or 5 different accounts logged in

why would you do that, just have four different chromes

old ie is the most useful extra browser

chrome, chrome beta, chrome canary, a weird chromium

kappa

old ie genuinely allows you to break a lot of sites now

It's great

Edge has no reason to exist at this point, between Chrome and ie

Edge/IE came on all windows

and STILL chrome got as high as it did

I thought browsers would be one of those stubborn people things

where they don't need anything else

everyone has a sane grandchild

and honestly, at this point edge doesn't need to be anything else

The smart, technically inclined, or just people in general are going to use chrome or FF

and edge is just for stubborn fucks

edge is for installing Chrome/FF

and for being the targeted browser for MS help pages so they can assure full functionality

Honestly I wish FF was better

I fucking hate new chrome

and currently I use a weird chromium build with some interesting things

what do you dislike about FF specifically?

some of the UI, how it runs

That it's not chrome

FF, despite my PC being.good

lags sometimes

I can't pretend that I give FF all the chances in the world for as much as Chrome slowly becomes worse usability wise each update

it's not like FF is at some great point, that negates everything else

my custom shit aside, I'm not switching from something bad to something mediocre

firefox is improving while chrome is regressing

FF may have more stability issues, but that's not the make or break thing

It would take a lot for Chrome to actually get bad enough that people would jump shit

I hate a lot of what they do, but I can't pretend much of it (especially the gay UI stuff) really matters

Downloads keep getting worse and worse on Chrome

but still

are 1000x better than the stupid FF tab

lots of little things like that are what keep me away, FF doesn't nail all the QoL shit that would actually get me to switch

it's a mixed bag, just like Chrome

I like the downloads tab

That is probably my most hated feature of FF

and God

the fact "all downloads" opens a new tiny window

Its resizable and I never use it anyway

Chrome butchered theirs a few years back too

made everything fucking ginormous

MATERIAL

DESIGN

I know what that is!
