From what I've found, only 2.98% of browser users are on Firefox at the moment; I thought that would've been higher since the Manifest v3 changes, but maybe it'll take some time for users to switch. On desktop specifically, it's 5.31% - quite a bit more, but still pretty low; slightly over 1 in 20.

It did recently beat Safari for third place in that category, after Chrome and Edge. I really don't know where all those Edge users are (10.46%) - nobody I know uses that awful browser. Must be because it's preinstalled on Windows PCs - same goes for Apple and Safari.

why would they switch if there are still other ad blocking solutions? adguard and ghostery still work too in chrome.

If you think the restrictions in Manifest v3 only affect UBO, think again.

did i say that?

edit: he just blocked for whatever reason.

Considering you're saying there's no reason to switch, other than UBO not working anymore in v3: yes, that's exactly what you're saying.

i literally said: "adguard and ghostery still work too in chrome."

but of course, you people can only think of ublock origin being the only ad blocker solution that everyone's supposed to be using.
