Showing people that they can avoid ads by switching from chromium might make more people use adblockers.
I get flabbergasted whenever I talk to someone and realize they're unaware that such things exist. I hope all (according to the google store entry for ublock origin) 10,000,000 of the ublock origin users switches from chromium based browsers to, say, firefox...
Feels like chromium is the new internet explorer...
That's why Google is trying to launch the "Web Integrity API" that will essentially allow them to mandate any website accessible to or using Google Services to ban browsers that have ad blockers.
I know a lot of Chrome users, and the general story I get from them is nearly always the same infuriating bullshit along these lines:
"So, I tried the like, Fox Fire thingy, but this one time, like, it took, like, 1.5 seconds to load, so it's """""""""slow""""""""" so I just use Chrome 'cause it's, like, faster and stuff."
Yeah, and I suppose the 427 useless things you have running in your system tray right now don't have anything to do with your computer being "slow," right?
Wouldn't those 427 things make chrome slow too
Yes
There is also the initial load problem where it would take longer to load in Firefox compared to chrome. Yet people will attribute it to the browser and not the fact that assets were already stored in chrome.
Or worse, "Why should I switch to Firefox? Everybody's complaining about the performance of Firefox compared to Chrome, but Chrome just works for me."
Blissfully unaware of the kind of power you're giving Google over the Internet by using their browser. I once had an experience where someone tried to use this to push me back to using Chrome.
Oh god, I'm having Vietnam flashbacks
To me it looks like a tech savy kind of hurdle, once people learn about it and start thinkering they start to use it also.
Better for us when people start caring for what they tolerate from corps.
