Maybe 0,00001% of the user base will. People don’t care, us nerds need to come to term with this

The other thing people on Lemmy / Hackernews/ Reddit don't seem to get is that people are not using laptop or desktop computers anymore. More and more people only have a phone and maybe a tablet. People with phones and tablets do not know what a browser is. It's baked into the system. Everyone on Android is using Chrome and they very likely don't even know it.

You mean those people that were born in the digital age so that it's second nature to them?

I use Ecosia on my phone because it has a built-in ad blocker that actually works.

I use Revanced instead of YouTube/Music so I don't get ads and can listen to what I want (I had to change my phone's DNS, because on data it wouldn't let me watch or listen to anything that was marked "explicit").

I haven't updated my Discord app in the last couple years because I heard that one of those updates supposedly introduced ads and I said "hell no."

This is also why Nintendo/Ubisoft/Other Shitty Company Here is still doing well despite all the gamers saying they'd boycott them.
