That won't happen. "Normies" don't care. At all. They just want the fastest thing and are happy to watch ads popping up all 5 minutes all day.

Normies used to use IE. Then their techier friends asked them if they have used FF or Chrome and they moved on. Don’t underestimate the impact of local experts on the choices of people who don’t care/have time to explore.

Because both were a lot faster than IE. Nowdays almost everyone uses Chrome, Safari or Edge. Because Firefox is rather slow given the current competitors, not because the others care more about privacy (Also because that's just what their devices come with)

The "normie" internet is some kind of hell, but they seem to be content.

"We" need to do more / better to educate them!

I tried to implement pi-hole for some extended family members. They asked me to turn it off within a week because they couldn't watch advertising videos to earn a new 'life' on candy crush (or something closely resembling that).

I can't relate to "normies" anymore, it's too late for me...

Techies care enough about ad blockers that they will install Firefox on normies computers, just so when their normie friend wants to show them a youtube video, they don't spend 15 seconds watching some absurd commercial.

Ad blocking is at least as big a deal as speed in terms of browsing comfort.
