I am personally unaware of any serious reason to believe that Firefox’s numbers will improve soon.

Yeah about that. Manifest V3 will infuse Firefox userbase nicely come next summer.

Get out of the lemmy Foss bubble and ask again. I don't know anybody that actually gives a fuck about manifest v3 tbh.

[–] Bulletdust@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Because they haven't been affected by Manifest v3 yet. As soon as they realise just what Manifest v3's all about...They'll give a fuck.

Savvy people may bother. Everyone else, who are much more numerically significant, still won't.

Those two crowds intermingle, you realize that, right? They're your family and friends, and they talk to each other.

My family prefers convenience and I cannot for the life of me make them realize the value of their privacy. They get lost if a button is placed at the top of the phone instead of the bottom. They complain when they click on an ad and the resulting page is a "cannot find the server" (because of it being blocked). To them, ad blocking is an inconvenience.

I guess it will just come down to which is more inconvenient, a web page that doesn't work every once in a while, or constantly being bombarded by ads which makes a web page hard to read.
