I don't think they will lose users progressively. Nothing will happen until something does, and then everyone will leave en masse (or simply stop logging in, without deactivating their account).
We should just work to make that happen as soon as possible.
- pmart123 8y agoThere probably is a strong distinction in Microsoft's decline in Windows/Explorer use versus a potential decline in Facebook. Since Facebook is network-based, losing users and engagement could have a much steeper multiplier effect. If one person switched to Chrome in 2007, it didn't change anyone else's Explorer experience. Eventually, if enough users switch, sites will be designed primarily around Chrome, etc., but this is a slow bleed versus a waterfall.
