general

oh yeah you use a custom browser

some stupid percentage of all ad impressions, come from mobile

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

I just like the fact that

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
