Here? We’re a rounding error not worth considering.
The majority of users do not use any web browser. They “click on the internet”.

the average person on lemmy probably cares more about privacy than the average internet dweller.
The average internet dweller doesn't even know they've lost privacy.
after all, their post has a delete button next to it and their messages say private! They wouldn't just lie

What's to stop the developers of a Chromium fork like Cromite from mainting MV2 compatibility themselves?
Cromite's only flaw (IMO) is that it based it's built in adblocker on AdBlock instead of Ublock.
I've tried moving to Firefox and I don't know, it just feels ugh to me. (scientific critique, I know...). It's just something I can't put my finger on; Firefox just doesn't feel performative. whether that's a frame-buffer animation thing, or icon shadows, or something else entirely, it just feels off to me in some uncally valley sort of way.

It's a lot of work, mostly. And how many of those V2 extensions are going to continue to provide patches anyway.

Maybe it's the subliminal messages Google has been injecting over the years to make you avoid Firefox/non-chromium browsers.

Visibility.
See: Helium Browser. Which is already doing this, and shipping full UBO, yet most aren’t aware of it.
Also see: this comment is minimized by default, and most of Lemmy will never know the answer to OP's question already exists. There are probably other forks that do this, too.

Man, I panicked at first because I have to use Edge at work. But this article clickbaited me, as uBlock origin lite is good enough for most people.
Still, screw Chrome, Edge, and Opera for being such dicks. It's always those three being the bottom tier browsers...

High time to leave that ship if you have not done that already.
Ungoogled Chromium and Librewolf really suits my needs, i dont even think about those issues ever since i started using them.
