Firefox is the "default" browser folks install in many countries.
- foepys 10y agoThat's right. Especially in Germany, that is notoriously suspicious of Google, Firefox is the default browser.
- blahi 10y agoThe Yahoo deal is US only though...
- Manishearth 10y agoThat's a good point. I guess a lot of people care about their browser being Firefox more than they care about the search engine? I once used Yahoo for a few months (also Bing and DDT). It's pretty good IMO. Not everyone would switch to Google immediately.

- kuschku 10y agoWell, for good reason. Every time someone started tracking people and do bulk data collection in the past century, it ended up with people being gassed, put into siberian camps, etc. Thanks, but no thanks.
- Scarbutt 10y agoHow does that even happen? I would guess for most non-technical users the default would be IE before they switch to Chrome.
- Manishearth 10y agoThat's why I put "default" in quotes. I meant the browser you choose to download when you get a new laptop. Not everyone thinks Chrome is the best browser out there.
