If Firefox keeps full extension capability, as a superset of Chrome's gimped implementation, then extension developers can decide how they want to handle the incompatibility.

I don't really get how the extension ecosystem works anyway -- extension developers are usually just sharing something they use to be helpful/make a point, and then some tack on donations thing, right? Since nobody is doing this to get rich I suspect they won't chase marketshare.

I believe they would gain users from Chrome, where you won't be able to block ads anymore.

I would certainly stop using Chrome

Just do it today :-)

I often have a month or more long streak between every time I have to use Ch#%!e ;-)

Bonus point for devs: If it works in Firefox it usually works everywhere since Firefox had always been reasonably standard compliant.

Right. I really need to finish my move off chrome. I get started, and then...

Thanks for saying this.

There is surely a bias between users of extensions of uBlock Origin and users of Firefox. The userbase is still smaller, but maybe not enough to completely throw away development.
