Mozilla has been watching the user share of its flagship Firefox web browser shrink for a while...Google's own browser, Chrome, was leading the pack, with a W3Counter usage rate of 59%, against a Firefox usage rate of 9.3%.

t in 2020, the most popular web browser is Google Chrome, with 49.3 percent of the recorded share of visits. This is a far cry from IE's once dominant share of 96 percent back in the infancy of the web,..Apple's Safari browser comes in a distant second with 31.6 percent....29.5 percent of smartphones are Apple devices, compared to 23 percent Android devices. So most of the Safari use actually comes from phones, not PCs. The big surprise is the third place winner. Internet Explorer. Despite the fact that Microsoft has been urging people to switch to Edge, IE is still the third most widely used browser, capturing 5.7 percent of the market...Edge loses out to IE, capturing only 4.2 percent of the market, and bringing up the rear is Firefox, with a mere 3.6 percent. The remaining 11.3 percent of the market share is divided up between a constellation of tiny, seldom used browsers that nonetheless have niche followings

Besides the (detrimental in many ways) massive switch from desktops to mobile devices for Internet searching, the decline of Firefox is what happens when you follow the crowd, both into political correctness and ignorance or carelessness, and thus handicap a swiss knife, utility truck browser, in seeking to imitate Chrome, which the simple masses flock due mainly mainly because if advertising, or speed, and or because they care little for customization and enhanced functions. Those who even know what TabMixPlus enabled know some of what I am speaking of.

I use about 6 browsers, each for a purpose (one mainly for forums, another for shopping, etc...) and use multiple profiles of Firefox ESR, and Waterfox and Basilisk due to the extensions that enable far more functionality than the 2nd best Firefox Quantum (portable) or the inferior Chrome (portable) etc. I would say Vivaldi is better than Chrome, Opera and others

Have recently been using DuckDuckGo browser on my Android phone and IPad. Very fast and very effective at blocking ads.

Remember in 2014 when they fired their CEO (he actually resigned, but at the point of a proverbial gun) because he donated money to some organization that opposed a gay marriage ballot initiative?

Yeah, that worked out.

My wife is still using FireFox on her MacBook Pro but I switched to Safari on my iMac. Our machines are just browsing...

My browsing life: Netscape, Opera, Firefox, Slimjet, Brave.

Through all of this I have used Thunderbird for email.

Very satisfied with the Brave/T’bird combo.

I use Mozilla. And I’m debating ending it.

They put BLM banners and “don’t you want to take unconscious bias training?” on the bottom of the page every time you start it up.

I can remember when Al Gore invented the Internet and this was the only browser available.

Worked pretty good back then.

That’s too bad I like Firefox.

I like Firefox. Chrome hogs memory and has a lousy toolbar and they spy on you.

I can modify the look of Firefox so the toolbar buttons are bigger, I have tabs below the web address field, change color of active tab, increase text size of the text for bookmarks in the sidebar or dropdown menu.

You can do nothing to change Chrome.

Thank you for this article I forgot about this and failed to act appropriately. I have deleted the web browser, added brave, and canceled my vpn through them. You are free to condone any behavior you wish to, but understand there will be consequences.

Meh. I used Firefox fora couple years, til I found Pale Moon. Used to be a Firefox derivative, now it’s its own fully separate fork.

But help crap I didn’t know Mozilla had over a thousand employees?!?
