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?

    users can modify their useragent string, and sometimes they have to because some webdevs are morons.

    The minority of users do this or even know about UA strings.

    some browsers actually default to using chrome instead of its own.

    Sure, but Firefox isn’t one of them
