Google has announced that it will move forward with Manifest V3 on Chrome, sounding the death knell for ad-blockers like uBlock Origin.

This is good new if you ask me: more people switching to firefox
People don't even know about manifest v3 let alone switching to Firefox. They will just use whatever google throws at them.
This was true of IE too.
All of this has happened before, and will happen again.
The point is they will know once their adblocker stops working, and they start to investigate why this happened.
So many people don't use adblockers. It's quite sad actually.
You can't do much about users that just don't care. But more technically inclined folks often do care and these are the people that develop the web and maintain the computer/browser for other people.
A lot of folks in my circle use chrome, but the moment the AdBlock plugin stops working they'll likely switch to anything that works better. They are not necessarily too concerned about privacy, but they also don't want to have most of their browsing made effectively impossible by ads everywhere.
I mean, just try and use the web without any sort of blocking. A lot of sites don't even have their content visible.
