    The install counts for ad block extensions is surprisingly lower than you’d think.

    uBlock only peaked just shy of 30M users, so much less than 1% of general users. Obviously it’s not that cut and dry, but you get the idea. It’s unlikely they have much influence no matter where they go.

      How many of those 3 billion Chrome users were on desktop though? Mobile is the default for most of the world.

      You’re saying there are 3 billion Firefox users? That doesn’t sound right. Or you mean 3 billion chrome users?

        I think they mean approximate chrome users. There’s about 3.8 billion of them.

        Firefox has a user base of approximately 150 million users (and that’s down from 206 million in like 2024).
