Almost every adblock user will move to firefox. They didn’t install it out of boredom, cause that’s non-trivial.

I mean it is trivial, but the world fights over defaults now and there are people who only use defaults and complain when they change.

So yeah, they will move. Download an app, import userdata, reinstall extensions and blog about this hacker-news-level journey.

I've done this journey. This step is exceptionally difficult, sometimes impossible. https://github.com/exile-center/better-trading

And it's even more difficult because I can't find a link to the original store page from an addon within firefox so I can't easily share my findings. https://i.imgur.com/zh2M9YA.png I do not see a link. Perhaps fixing that should have been a priority for Mozilla instead of a bullshit alt generator but it's AI so of course it's got priority. Instead of doing everything in their power to grow their market share ... spreadfirefox reboot when.
