How many users will chrome browser lose after phasing out manifest v2 this June ?

A millionth percent. People are not remotely aware of the whole Manifest v3 drama and will either not care for the degraded experience or put the blame on extensions developers.

Almost zero.

Google figured out that number internally before development on it even started. Whatever the figure is, they've deemed it a profitable trade.

The people who were going to leave already did.

0.0001% and I am probably overestimating it.

i would hope not many because the ones who would care would have already jumped.

a person can dream, anyway.

I honestly don't understand why so many people use Chrome when there are so many options!

They won't lose me, because they haven't had me for a very long time.

I imagine fewer people than we’d assume even install 1 extension (and half the people who do only install some shopping extension that collects all their data in exchange for price comparisons or whatever).

Probably none, most people will probably not care and just deal with loosing some of there browsers extensions (it's not just ad blockers that will be affected) or if they care about loosing ad blockers, they'll switch to Brave without considering Firefox or any other non-Chromium browsers.

For anyone who (like me) wasn't really aware that this was happening - https://cybernews.com/privacy/google-to-weaken-chrome-ad-blockers-push-for-security

I don't know how good that source is, but it gives a general roundup.

TL:DR - changing from manifest 2 to manifest 3 will break adblockers and some other extensions.

I think most people don't care or don't even know what is it
