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

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

46% global and 27 USA? Damn the us people are even more tech illiterate than I would've guessed. I suppose the 85+% market share of the iPhone among teens has something to do with it.

Are you really surprised, considering how much our education system gets hijacked by right-wing legislation?

I wouldn't personally call 42% that high and by definition not most.

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

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.
