> the advertisers could simply block Firefox en-masse and survive

And why would firefox users care about advertisers blocking firefox? Oh noes, ads aren’t showing up in my browser!

I think Firefox users would care if they suddenly couldn't access a large part of the Internet on Firefox.

Believe me, the advertisers are probably watching the whole Manifest v3 rollout in Chrome very closely; and weighing the odds that, if they block Firefox, they’ll be able to kill it off completely and have ads for everyone.

Why would websites bother with an arms race to block a browser barely anyone uses?
