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’ve recently moved away from Chrome to Firefox and the transition was so seamless that I’m surprised. The main reason for the change is that Firefox for android now allows addons, serious addons not just the mobile ones. Before I was using a chrome / kiwi browser combo. So happy that now I can sync my desktop and phone :)

        uBlock, Clean URLs, and “I still don’t care about cookies”

        Are the must haves for me.

          Is the last one still useful if you enable the cookies filter under annoyances in uBlock?

            I didn’t know about that actually. I’ll try it out and remove cookies extension. Thanks!

            Edit: Working well so far!

              Yeah, I’ve got a bunch of the annoyances filters active and don’t know if I could browse most websites without them at this point.

      • Not OP but the standard two ones: uBlock origin and NoScript. Added bonus is an addon to continue video view with screen off.

        People constantly crying over the ads in their youtube app. Well i just watch in Firefox and if i want to watch an audiobook video to fall asleep to, i don’t even have to drain my battery.
