This is more of a parallel of the video game crash that happened before. When the video game consoles created a bubble in the US every body suddenly started creating video games, to the point many were so bad they were literally unplayable. When the market got flooded with bad games, people stopped buying games (since no one trusted the quality anymore), leading to a crash in the industry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_crash_of_1983

Maybe a little, but the rise in the costs of AI will make a huge number of people to stop using it since it’s not that life changing, bringing the prices down again.

You just lose access to the internet eventually.

Well I did, the Amazon Prime Video has many weird behaviors on Firefox compared to the Chromium engine, even YouTube used to have before.

Any web developer knows it isn’t as simple as “code once, work everywhere”. If companies don’t test on Firefox (which is a reality nowadays given its small market share) bugs happen in very weird and unusual ways.

If you rely on the extensions API you have no choice. If those browsers want they can just add ad blocking somehow, the code is open source. In fact Brave has its Shields applied directly in the source code without relying on the extensions API.

Nope, Shields are built into the browser itself, not as an extension which uses those APIs. [1]

Because Firefox is a different engine and might not work well with certain websites.
