Good luck to anyone trying to enforce that lol

Is everyone walking around with crumpled clothes? Or am I missing some critical life hack?

It's inevitable. Your competitors are using ai. You have to implement it to not get behind. No one cares beyond being able to slap a label on the product.

Don't worry, logitech comes with a unified receiver driver, new unified app i forget the name of, logitech g hub, logitech options - and you'll be forced to use a combination of at least 2 and likely 3 of those to setup a mouse.
As a bonus, the mouse won't care to remember what button maps where, if used on a device without said software.

You're right, but I think it's fairly safe to assume that if one knows about sponsorblock, they're using an ad blocker too.

30% desktop, 15% mobile estimated in the US use ad blockers.
That is not insignificant by any means, even if it's overestimated.

The joke's on them - my time has very little value anyway

When Vanced went down, and before ReVanced came out, I had stopped using YT. The ads are unbearable.
So I know what I'd do.

I didn't care until it consistently loaded faster.
That's now my new baseline, and anything slower than 'instant' is annoying.
I would care if that was no longer the case, because I don't like being constantly annoyed.

That said, I don't think the page loading speed is noticeably different between major browsers.
The addons, customisation, privacy and resource usage are where it's at.

I'm just hoping that some competition to chromium stays afloat.

I've switched to this from DuckDuckGo right during the downtime and, so far, it's been working out great.
