[QUOTE="SpiderWeb, post: 976281, member: 88686"] I remain optimistic because we have survived this standoff before with Internet Explorer. People thought that browser had a complete monopoly over the market. Firefox was the balance even though Firefox never had a majority, it was popular enough to be an escape and force companies to rethink. I was a big Firefox users most of the 2000s and switched to Chrome around 2010 because it finally supported extensions and was snappier. But Chrome has become Google's vehicle to force people into thinking that Google = Internet. Remember it took Microsoft more than a decade to finally beat Mozilla's market share. I am honestly truly convinced that when uBO and the other adblockers stop working, we will see a mass migration back to browsers that support privacy. Have you turned off your adblocker and DNS-based blocking recently? The Internet is impossible to navigate without them. You just get overwhelmed by massive ads that take up all of your bandwidth and CPU cycles. [/QUOTE]
