If and when that happens, then I will move off Firefox

Where to? Sadly I'm on Windows and there are no more options that I can see. So it will be dual boot again in the future I guess + Ladybird.

I have ADHD and I cannot use a product if there is ads. In any form they exist in, they take up time, energy, and attention, all of which I have precious little of compared to the average person.

Ensuring I still have PiHole or NextDNS to block ads at a DNS level, I'd use Safari with any adblock extension.

Failing that, I'd browse the compatible web with a TUI browse in terminal.

Failing that I'm reading books and taking notes on paper or in Vim. No internet for me.

I'm a screen reader user. It's similar for me, accept if I really wanted to navigate around the ads I suppose i could. However i do have chronic migraines, so that reduces my ability to care about ads. Or X embeds, Or facebook sharing widgets. So no, it isn't just an ad thing, it's a let's not take a whole bunch of energy to navigate a page thing.

Consider PaleMoon - http://www.palemoon.org/ - it is multi-platform and has support for an older version of uBlock Origin and that works fine.
