Google is weakening ad blockers as part of their MV3 extension standard and this will trickle down into all Chromium browsers. Built in ad blockers lack features compared to uBlock Origin as well.

They made a choice, they live with the consequences.
One, this isn’t some huge life defining dilemma, it’s a browser FFS.
And two, if people have to use Chrome, as is the case sometimes, then they did not make a choice, but are still subject to the changes being discussed.
Acting like some superior know-it-all is not helping anyone.
It was referring to this part:
They want to keep using a product even though they don’t like it. A product that is free to use just like most of its alternatives.
Maybe they like/need some parts of it, but not others.
Eg - Firefox lacks native support for progressive web apps. Chrome has that, and it’s tremendously useful.
For a regular everyday user, the perception is that Chrome works while Firefox does not.
You’re not going to persuade people that Firefox is the better option by sneering at them and making them feel small or stupid for not having made the same choice as you.
So sure, try to persuade people to at least try changing browsers. But don’t act like they’re idiots if they don’t, or haven’t yet.
