With its market share hitting a new low, can Firefox rise from the ashes or is this the end?

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 use Firefox on all my devices and couldn’t be happier with it. I especially love how sync works: there’s options to both pull tabs from other devices, and push to them. Quite frequently I’d be just browsing on my phone and send a tab over to my laptop to deal with/read/act on when I’m sitting down at a bigger screen.

        Same! I believe that others struggle with it but I can’t wrap my head around why their experience is so different from my own.

      What’s bad about it? It’s the only way to use an ad blocker on mobile

          You can move it to the top in the settings though…? They moved it to the bottom by default because most people have their thumbs close to the bottom of the screen, so they don’t need to reach all the way to the top to get to the URL bar or change tabs.

          I just checked in my own, you can change the toolbar to the top of the screen in the “Customize” page of the settings.

      Opposite of my experience, FF + uBlock Origin made browsing the web on my phone enjoyable because the filtering of ads makes page layouts readable.

      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
