Maybe numerically, but Chrome alone has 70% marketshare. When you consider that edge runs off of the Chrome engine, Google controls like >80% of how the world sees the web essentially. If Chrome adds a new feature, everyone else must adapt as well.

For the average user, Chrome is just the best browser. There is nothing wrong with 70% of consumers liking them more than other browsers because the switching cost is free and there are plenty of alternatives.

  On desktop, maybe. But on mobile? Firefox for Android (or fenix), or any other ad-blocking browser (eg. brave) is unequivocally better.

    Perhaps. People spend less time on the web then when on desktops though. While on mobile they're prefer native apps. By the way, Chrome's market share has been trending down for a while. Only at 58% now. https://www.statista.com/statistics/272697/market-share-desktop-internet-browser-usa/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/272697/market-share-desk...
