    What gets me is when websites don’t work on Safari. Really? Like a significant portion of traffic is to iOS, it’s a single browser you have to target, on millions of devices. And you couldn’t even make it work there.

    Web dev today is a bunch of crap.

    I am personally unaware of any serious reason to believe that Firefox’s numbers will improve soon.

    Either the author doesn’t know about the Manifest v2 deprecation or is saying it’s “unserious” to believe this might improve Firefox’s market share. Either way, goofy.

      Unfortunately, the masses just don’t care - extensions/add-ons are “too complex” for the typical user.

      I hate to break it to you but Firefox is terrible in the UI/UX department. I wish Mozilla was better at actually being a good company and nonprofit but they seem to have fallen to the way side.

      With that being said, I will refuse to use anything other than librewolf. My government isn’t going to dictate what browser to use. I do a lot of paper anyway so its not a big deal.

    Doubt, it may have less market share now but could still have more total users. Apple needs to be made to allow real alternative browser on the iPhone, and why are chromium browsers counted separately?

    It shouldn’t matter as long as the sites are developed only with open standards.

    We already have webcompat for anything truly broken.

    I will refuse to use it unless it works in a all browsers. I can’t control other companies but I will not pay tax money to have a broken website.

    using reported user agents that hit a singular site is a pretty shitty way of determining market share.
