    The people who don’t care and don’t have an adblocker aren’t and weren’t ever the target. The people who are being targeted have an adblocker, and they’re all moving to FireFox.

    What Google is getting out of this most of all is future compliance as new users coming to Chrome will never know a world in which ad blockers were freely available on Chrome, as well as dog whistling this to other corporate browser vendors.

      Don’t forget they’re pushing chrome on the whole internet. Websites are already telling Firefox users to fuck off if we aren’t spoofing chromium and it’s only going to get worse after this.

        Firefox is my daily and I very rarely encounter a site that specifically rejects it. Do you have some examples?

      Long term they will move to Firefox also.

      Because people like us will continue to suggest they use Firefox as their “tech person”.

      It’s just a little slower for the people that don’t care.
