I'm pretty sure 95% of Chrome users don't know or care about Manifest v3 or what issues it brings.

Consider also that most web users don't use an ad blocker; by definition most web users won't care about the Mv3 change, as that's what it seems to affect most.

On top of that, it seems like ad blockers still work decently well under Mv3. That could change over time, certainly, but there's not really a compelling reason for most Chrome users to switch.

> [Firefox for Android] crashes way too much

Interesting; I've been using it for years and very rarely encounter a crash. Desktop Firefox (Linux) crashes more often than Firefox for Android, and there too it's incredibly rare.

I switched to the v3 version of uBlock a couple weeks ago and have not seen a difference in blocking compared to v2.
