Article seems pretty flawed. Relevance is a vague metric, and the author relies pretty heavily on data related to government site visitation, which seems subject to bias toward certain types of users.

Market share is likely still incredibly low, but Firefox’s relevance should be spiking right now due to Google’s shenanigans with Chromium. The fact that like 90% of revenue for its for-profit wing is from Google is still troubling.

Any alternative views out there?

    I’ve found the reason it’s not great on mobile is because even if you tell your android phone to use Firefox as default it simply ignores it and uses chrome anyways

      Just fully remove chrome. I do not even have chrome on my phone. Firefox works fine on mobile. Have no idea why people think it does not.

      be sure to actually launch firefox and don’t use the google ‘app’ either.
