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

      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

          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.

          Reddit was too weird for most people until they ended up being in their Google search results for most topics. It will take a while but the Fediverse will eventually reach a level of popularity and mainstream utility.

        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.
