With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

Most people aren’t concerned about privacy outside of places like here and Reddit.

With Chrome killing ad blocking, they'll quickly care

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

They won't. The vast majority aren't using any kind of ad-blockers in the first place or Google would go out of business.

Hmmm, on the bright side, with lemmy going mainstream maybe some of this culture (including privacy and FOSS) becomes more and more openly discussed.

As much as I love Lemmy I don't see it going mainstream :/
It's too weird for the general user

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I agree. Arguably reddit isn't even mainstream, and it is exponentially larger than Lemmy now and will remain so for the foreseeable future.

I'm really loving Lemmy, but it is not even remotely a factor if we are having a conversation about things that are mainstream enough to reflect popular opinion.
