I looked up "firefox addon usage" and this was the second result https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/usage-behavior

> over 40% of Firefox users have at least 1 installed add-on

Before they changed their ToS to allow selling my data I had spent the last 2 decades with telemetry disabled and adblocker installed

What’s the story on the TOS change? This is the first I’m hearing about it.

A while ago they changed their TOS from something along the lines of "We will never sell your data" to "Your data is safe"

> About one-third of Firefox users have installed an add-on before

Ublock Origin has 10,488,339 Users listed on it's Mozilla store-page at the moment, AdBlock Plus has 3,188,401 Users. And Firefox has surely still far more than those ~14 million users.

There was an article from Mozilla, some years ago, going more into the details about this, but I'm not sure where. Though, I found another one[1] from 2021, which starts with only one third of the users having installed an addon.
