I'm certain that by "users" what they really mean is "people still using Chrome."

I've been having intermittent problems while using Firefox. Of course, all I need to do is clear the Ublock's filters and re-load them.

Oddly, my brother who uses the same ad-blocker as me and Chrome hasn't gotten a anti-AdBlock nag screen for months. No idea why.

That's the majority of people?? Looks like the most recent number is 64% of people with 20% on Safari and the remaining ~17% split among the rest with Firefox (3%) not even beating Edge (5%)

Honestly the process to get ublock origin working is identical between the two of them, so being a chrome user doesn't really make it any harder. Obviously still a better idea to switch, but for that specific problem, its the same.
