I use Firefox, but I'm concerned that this move will change the narrative around the use of adblockers. Chrome is so dominant that if you have to go download a browser like Firefox with such a low market share, installing an adblocker can more easily be cast as something only techies who want to "pirate the web" do.

It will increase Firefox's market share. How much remains to be seen.

I agree that it will increase Firefox's market share in the short term, but I'm concerned it will decrease the number of people using adblockers in the long run by adding friction to the process. I would expect most Chrome users on HN to switch to Firefox after this, but I wouldn't expect people outside of techie circles to make that move en masse.
