Some people can’t tell the difference between a search engine and a browser. Some people don’t know how to install software, and use whatever they got. Some people don’t know better.
Them losing access to a tool like uBlock Origin, with the only alternatives being weaker options, is harmful.
I know of people experiencing blockage because they use uBOL, uBO was more effective at bypassing those blocks I assume.
Very good point but I’d argue that if you know what a browser extension is and how to install it, you also know the difference between a browser and a search engine.

Not everyone installs browser extensions themselves; many have them installed by relatives or friends.
