    Sadly, this meme is not accurate. Firefox’s marketshare has been slipping off a cliff and Mozilla has been slowly giving up on it in favour of pocket and their VPN.

      I never understood why their management just gave up. They haven’t made the best marketing and community decisions, the browser is reallllly good though.

        Unfortunately, with how much they’re dropping the ball, their browser won’t be good for long. I’ve just accepted that Chrome is about to be the only viable choice in a few more years, because of Mozilla’s shitty management.

        Look up the developer-manager conflicts over there. Management decides something, every dev says it’s a terrible idea, management tells them to shut the fuck up and just do it like good little minions.

          I hope it will last, this trajectory has been going for long but the browsing experience hasn’t been affected yet!

            I’m mainly concerned about whether they’ll keep improving to keep up with Chrome. Firefox already has a lot of performance and resource utilization issues, but unlike Chrome who hogs your entire computer, it’s the opposite for Firefox. At least on Linux, it only lets a tab use two CPU threads, whereas Chrome can use all of them, I found out when I had to a CPU rendering benchmark to stress test my new processor, and I couldn’t bothered to install something so I just looked up online ones in the browser. Also, as far as I know Firefox has no GPU acceleration support.

    idk at most a few thousand users switch to firefox bc of that. Most users are mobile, they just use what comes by default which is not firefox

      I mean the meme is referring to people who used to use adblockers on chrome, so it’s not really referring to the people who use the default browser.

        I dont see how that is implied on the chrome side; and saying “everybody just” is ambiguos. So if not wrong this meme is confusig at least

          well I guess “everybody” is referring to people who used uBO rather than people who used chrome, it’s confusing, I agree.
