    I doubt most people use an adblocker.

    Anyone who’s aware of these issues or cares about them really should have been smart enough to switch to Firefox a long time ago.

        46% global and 27 USA? Damn the us people are even more tech illiterate than I would’ve guessed. I suppose the 85+% market share of the iPhone among teens has something to do with it.

          A big enough hit if 42% of Chrome users switch to a different browser.

          However, I wouldn’t be surprised to see that people with adblock are more likely to use something other than Chrome. And some people will stay with Chrome and deal with the lack of adblock.

            Roughly 60% of people use chrome so I’m sure there is a big cross over.

            But I feel if people really cared they wouldn’t use chrome to begin with.

            Time will tell.

        You can also do that with Firefox on your computer.

        It’s not in settings, but you can easily google the instructions.

      Which makes this even more annoying. Like you have good chunk of the world using your browser with ads, but you still want even more and are still taking these types of scummy actions.

        I think they’re taking aim at people who use an adblocker because it’s simple and won’t bother if they make it harder than installing an extension.
