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.

9point6@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 1y

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.

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.

The market share plot looks suspiciously clean, where are those numbers from?

static09@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 1y

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.
