- If I were Google, instead of paying Mozilla millions to be the default search in Firefox, I’d give the money directly to the decision makers and influence them to turn Firefox into a piece of garbage filled with VPN offers, cloud integrations, “fair ads”, and “AI” until nobody uses it anymore. - Wait… 
- still better alternative than google chrome or microsoft edge, and allows me to ad block, when either of those things stop being the case, i’ll find something else 
- Is seriously Firefox at 3% market share, hard to believe. - Chrome is like 70%, safari is about 20% - Given there’s some people out there just using edge on Windows because it’s the browser it came with, <5% for Firefox seems about right 
- It’s about twice as much if we look at exclusively desktop browsers, but yes. It’s been on the downturn for many years. 
 
- The market share plot looks suspiciously clean, where are those numbers from? - Edit: looks like they’re from page view data. I know I spoof my browser to show chrome for better compatibility, I wonder how common that is among Firefox users. - Looks like they’ve linked a source to a website called statcounter. The graph appears to be smoothed or normalized, but is effectively the same data for the purpose.  
- Also, I was curious if users were going down or if chrome was growing faster. Looks like it is going down, but not as much as the market share would suggest.

- And they have the cheek to suggest I donate money to them. 😆 Their CEO should be donating to me! - I’ve switched to Librewolf mostly now since they said they merged with an advertising company and are gonna add this scam “private tracking” bollocks.
