You mean the browsers that Google is throttling Youtube on, if they're blocking ads? I use Firefox with SponsorBlock myself, but I'd say that most people are using either Chrome or Edge and would not switch to Firefox, despite of how much better it would be. Most people just like what they're used to.

    Man, you're all over this thread sticking up to Google. You should apply there. They just laid off 100 YouTube employees. At least you'd be paid to shill.

    Fuck off lol. I'm not sticking up for Google/Alphabet, they're an untrustworthy company and as someone working in tech, I hate the trend of layoffs currently going on, all to make shareholders happy.

    I'm sticking up for people actually paying for the services they use. Streaming videos costs a shitton of money (servers, bandwith, platform maintenance, etc.) and Youtube has lost money for literal YEARS, which they are trying to fix. If Youtube went under for being too unprofitable, most creators on the platform would be out of a job. As long as there's no proper competing platform, Youtube is the best we have.
