Fwiw, I've been using Firefox for 20+ years, I hate ads with passion and yet I never heard of your add-on until just now.

I don't remember what I've used before uBlock Origin, but since its appearance it's basically solved the ad blocking on Firefox and became the de-facto standard for the browser.

You probably lost all your users to it, rather that they all stopped using FF.

Most likely AdBlock Plus. It was basically the standard until they started allowing advertisers to pay to not have their ads blocked.
