A millionth percent. People are not remotely aware of the whole Manifest v3 drama and will either not care for the degraded experience or put the blame on extensions developers.

Almost zero.
Hey hey. I'm willing to give about half a percent to maybe a whole one! Basically the same percentage of people who left reddit to come here
Google figured out that number internally before development on it even started. Whatever the figure is, they've deemed it a profitable trade.
Advertising company found that losing people who block ads would be fine
The people who were going to leave already did.
0.0001% and I am probably overestimating it.
i would hope not many because the ones who would care would have already jumped.
a person can dream, anyway.
I honestly don't understand why so many people use Chrome when there are so many options!
I mean there is pretty much just chrome(ium) and Firefox. AFAIK manifest v2 being disabled will get into all chromium based browsers.
Not necessarily. But the way around it means way more dev time. I know Vivaldi and Brave have stated that they will make sure to defeat it. I assume the DuckDuckGo browser would as well but I'm not sure.
Ah cool, that's nice to hear
Even linux users seem to, which is just baffling to me.
They won't lose me, because they haven't had me for a very long time.
I imagine fewer people than we’d assume even install 1 extension (and half the people who do only install some shopping extension that collects all their data in exchange for price comparisons or whatever).

Probably none, most people will probably not care and just deal with loosing some of there browsers extensions (it's not just ad blockers that will be affected) or if they care about loosing ad blockers, they'll switch to Brave without considering Firefox or any other non-Chromium browsers.
For anyone who (like me) wasn't really aware that this was happening - https://cybernews.com/privacy/google-to-weaken-chrome-ad-blockers-push-for-security
I don't know how good that source is, but it gives a general roundup.
TL:DR - changing from manifest 2 to manifest 3 will break adblockers and some other extensions.
I think most people don't care or don't even know what is it
