I don't know if it would, necessarily. So many alternatives are chrome-based, and part of the reason google was able to accrue that share to begin with was by putting a "get chrome now" in the corner of every search you did.
Most alternatives don't have that same kind of advertising reach to displace chrome, especially not for casual users.
Sigh.. I'm afraid you are correct... It's why we can't have a sane and wonderfull world.
I doubt there's many people who care about using add block who don't at least know what Firefox is.
