Yeah I switched last week. There are a few things I liked in Chrome that don't exist (tab groups, PWAs) and the inspector is a bit different for dev work but overall it's pretty good.
One thing I did notice on Google searches is the results show the more custom result boxes for businesses, etc.
You should be able to fix Google Search with this extension, I believe: https://addons.mozilla.org/android/addon/google-search-fixer/
Unfortunately no one is actually migrating !!
Is there any statistic about this? Like download counts over time?
Don't worry people will migrate when they can't block the ads.
Maybe some? I’ve never been able to convince a “normal” person to install an ad blocker and it baffles me. Click the install button, please, I’m begging you T_T.
Those people subsidize our ability to use ad blockers, imagine if everyone used uBlock and ad companies started cracking down on it.
Nah, ads are only worth as much as it actually makes people spend on products. Whether those products are being sold by showing 5 ads or 5000 ads, does not make the ads worth more as a whole.
Companies have just been in an arms race to show ever-more ads, to get slightly more of those 5000ths of the whole cake.
Blocking ads isn't removing any value from the system, unless you planned to click on lots of ads and buy the products behind them.
