Firefox is responsible for such a low percentage it's sad (the stats I have for the sites I work on it's usually on the 1-2% range). I think it's mainly because of the horrible leadership at Mozilla. I want to use Firefox and promote it but every time I think they've changed Mozilla does something new that boils my blood. You can donate to Mozilla, but not directly to Firefox and they seem to spend a lot of money on political projects. It's a 'get woke, go broke' situation and I have watched the fall of Mozilla in real time over the past years.
I really wish Mozilla changed focus, I would gladly pay for Firefox+ or something if I knew that the money went to Firefox development and not to some racist white male hate project.
So I'll continue using Brave and hope for the best, the future the author is talking about is basically already here.
This is repeated ad nauseum on this site and needs to be called out. The Mozilla management may be rather self serving but Firefox is a fine browser and more than viable alternative to Chrome. The reason they're losing market share is because Chrome is bundled everywhere as default, not just Android, but often as part of desktop Windows too, by OEM. And now Edge, which is Chromium under the skin, is the default on MS Windows. So Firefox is used only by those who specifically seek it out, which means just a small portion of the tech community.
