While that number may be true you have to keep in mind that more than 50% of global FF users are based in DACH and by extension the rest of German speaking Euro

While that number may be true you have to keep in mind that more than 50% of global FF users are based in DACH and by extension the rest of German speaking Europe (i.e. Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Switzerland).

Ignoring that the DACH region only has ~100 million people and that if every last man woman and child were monthly FF users it still wouldn't be half of 210 million users... according to Mozilla's own stats at https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/user-activity https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/user-activity regional MAU is: 10M Brazil 13M China 12M France 20M Germany 12M India 9M Indonesia 6M Italy 7M Poland 7M Russia 30M United States It's honestly a bit frustrating how even on HN everyone thinks they know who around the world uses something more than the actual public data on it. On one hand you have people insisting the data is missing huge swaths of people and on the other you have people insisting a region has over half the users when that would be less than half the users according to the very data the other person is trying to say is missing lots of people!

You are aware that 20 million users in a population of 80m total is way way way more than 30 million out of a 300m population? It seems amazing how clueless people on hn are yet they post their middle class thoughts.

  HN isn't the kind of place for your closing comment. Also you replied to yourself by accident. 25% is indeed greater density than 10% and bicycles have two wheels but neither has anything to do with making "50% of global FF users are based in DACH " anywhere near an accurate statement.

    >but neither has anything to do with making "50% of global FF users are based in DACH " anywhere near an accurate statement. DACH is not just Germany neither is it just Germany, Austria and Switzerland it's the German speaking world (and that isn't just DE, CH, AT, LU and LI either) Those reach nearly 30-40% of worldwide users go look it up yourself. >25% is indeed greater density than 10% and bicycles have two wheels Someone seems mad his useless comment got debunked. You tried to "well actually" while not understanding the irony of your own post. >HN isn't the kind of place for your closing comment. Also you replied to yourself by accident. That should be a reply of mine to you seeing you are literally just posting for the sake of posting after realizing your argument is beyond useless. Your post could literally have been "I LIKE SPAGHETTI" and it would have contained the same amount of valuable information as it does now.
