I really wonder if this will make any people move from Chrome to Firefox at all because they can't use their adblockers anymore. There are probably so few people that most of them already are on Firefox I guess.

Nope, then they will continue to whine about YouTube and Twitch spamming ads even though the solution already exists.

This ^ some people are weirdly hellbent against using Firefox for basically no reason.

Had a someone I know recently which between 3 different chromium browsers to find one where the adBlock still worked on Youtube, But would refuse Firefox for the pettiest of reasons from 'I can't sync logins with my google account' to 'That browsers for NERDS'
