Most people, aka normal users, don't care for extensions other than themes, if at all.

So I doubt it would get any new users other than geek folk.

I'm not talking about showing off extension support, just ad blocking. I hate extensions myself, I wish content blocking with white listing was just built right into the browser which is that last real feature any browser needs. Once people get a few weeks with a good ad blocker they won't ever go back. After that, if they use a browser without it, they'll think they have a virus.
