Surprised Pikachu - Lemmy

I doubt most people use an adblocker.

Anyone who’s aware of these issues or cares about them really should have been smart enough to switch to Firefox a long time ago.

A lot of people do use Adblockers. backlinko.com/ad-blockers-users

You can try other sources as well. The statistics say significant numbers on multiple places.

Ad Blocker Usage and Demographic Statistics in 2024

Interesting ad blockers user stats. Includes data on usage, demographics and more.

I wouldn’t personally call 42% that high.

A big enough hit if 42% of Chrome users switch to a different browser.

However, I wouldn’t be surprised to see that people with adblock are more likely to use something other than Chrome. And some people will stay with Chrome and deal with the lack of adblock.

Roughly 60% of people use chrome so I’m sure there is a big cross over.

But I feel if people really cared they wouldn’t use chrome to begin with.

Time will tell.

It’s much better than what I observe with people around me, I would have guessed about 10%
