Yeah, almost everyone will just keep using the reduced-feature ad-blockers that result from MV3.

I think you are underestimating how annoying ads are. I was in a german forum today on my mobile phone and the ads jumped into view for a second and then jumped back out again while I was scrolling. I can't imagine that anyone puts up with this for long. I thought that most people would stay with inferior adblockers but it only takes a couple of such extremely annoying ads to make it through for you to start googling for an improvement.

I think you're underestimating just how much annoyance the general public will put up with. Look at how popular streaming services are, even though they're constantly removing content. I see people complain about it all the time, but they keep signing up for more services.

well currently it blocks youtube ads, if that changes many, many will be moving.
