Maybe 0,00001% of the user base will. People don’t care, us nerds need to come to term with this

    The other thing people on Lemmy / Hackernews/ Reddit don't seem to get is that people are not using laptop or desktop computers anymore. More and more people only have a phone and maybe a tablet. People with phones and tablets do not know what a browser is. It's baked into the system. Everyone on Android is using Chrome and they very likely don't even know it.

    I use Ecosia on my phone because it has a built-in ad blocker that actually works.

    I use Revanced instead of YouTube/Music so I don't get ads and can listen to what I want (I had to change my phone's DNS, because on data it wouldn't let me watch or listen to anything that was marked "explicit").

    I haven't updated my Discord app in the last couple years because I heard that one of those updates supposedly introduced ads and I said "hell no."
