If you think the number of people that use ad blockers is not a fraction of a percent of internet users, you’re in a bubble.
Go outside, talk to people, friends, family, especially of different generations. Even people I know that I consider much more “tech savvy” than average have no clue about ad blockers or how to begin using them.

It’s about 30%.
Nowhere near the majority, but also not a “fraction of a percent.”

I was about to say, even without actual data to back it up, big companies are going out of their way to try and evade and block ad-blockers, and that costs man-hours to design, so obviously it’s not a negligible number if they have decided its worth trying to pursue.

It is a fraction of a percent. ⁶⁰/₂%, for example.

I’m pretty sure they meant it as a colloquial, not a strict mathematical expression.
