I’m surprised it’s even as high as that honestly. It’s only gonna go down further next year when Chrome kills ad-blocking extensions and most people don’t bother switching to browsers that still have them.

Strikes me as a tumblr banning porn move - plenty of people only use Chrome because of those extensions. I think a lot of people will move browsers to avoid ads. Have you seen what ads are like nowadays?

This is the only thing I found about Chrome disabling ad-block https://hypebeast.com/2022/10/google-chrome-manifest-v3-extension-platform-breaks-ad-block-info "Ad-blockers now utilize Google Chrome’s “webRequest” API to block HTTP requests through the current Manifest V2 extension but the Manifest V3 extension “declarativeNetRequest” utilizes a blocklist of specific URLs. The only problem is the blocklist is limited to just 30,000 URLs, instead of the usual lists of over 300,000 sites." Seems like a soft-limit, people will always find a way around ads, I dont think it's possible to disable ad-blocking in a PC environment because you can block URLs in the OS.

Congressman Paul Gozer invited Russian President Putin and Ukrainian President Zelensky to a peace conference in his home state. That's like asking a wolf and a sheep to sit down for dinner, and a pig is hosting it. 🐺🐑🐷🍽️

The whole blue checkmark thing literally doesn’t work if you charge for it so lol I can’t wait to see twitter due in 3 months. Whatever it’s algorithm does to curate my feed is even worse content then the trash I get in Facebook. At least Facebook suggests wildly popular stuff. Twitter just seems to be aggregating poo poo posts by users who have found their niche is posting variations of the same thing every hour even if it’s devoid of value.

i logged into my mastodon account just out of curiosity a bit last night and today. it's on the largest node (mastodon.social) run by the project creator and it's super slow, with images failing to load and scrolling freezing intermittently. saw a post from the creator that they've done several hardware upgrades this week already, and it's still like this. they must be seeing a huge influx of activity.

This is a real problem facing the internet advertising industry and Google is making changes to extensions in january that will make adblock extensions stop working in all Chromium-based browsers. Firefox will be the only remaining browser that can block ads, and the majority of people will keep using Chrome

Because literally every single browser in use these days, except for Firefox, is Chromium based. Edge, Opera, Brave, etc. are all Chromium, and will no longer have ad blockers come January. I don't expect the average internet browser user to be aware that there are only two major internet browsers (chromium and firefox) or to realize that 50% of them still offer ad blocking, because the other 50% uses the standard business tactic of releasing the same product under several different properties/names to catch as many demographics as possible. Like yeah I think the majority of tech literate people will switch, absolutely. Most of them have already because Firefox has been a far better browser for years. But as far as the average joe blow looking at facebook.com on his phone or whatever? Chrome will still have the major market share I bet. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 23:03 on Nov 6, 2022 |

safari isn't based on chromium either. i use chrome at work because it's what IT gives us along with edge, but at home it's firefox or safari only and the internet still works fine. it's not hard to swap browsers if your ad blocker suddenly stops working, and anyone who actually uses one won't be able to tolerate going back to an internet with ads everywhere. doesn't matter what the people who aren't using an ad blocker do.

In addition to Safari, which to my knowledge only exists on Apple now, you do have niche stuff that nobody other than the really nerdy are aware of, like Falkon and Konqueror. The latter is Linux-only AFAIK, but Falkon will run on Windows. Most people are unaware of how much of a monoculture web browsers have become - in many ways Chrome is the new Internet Explorer, in all the bad ways.

Yeah, I know, but it's kind of a parallel Internet Explorer thing there, too. I don't know if it affects those numbers, but I also wonder how many people using iDevices realize that no matter what browser they think they are running it is basically just a skin over Safari.
