It took ~ ten days to convince my family to move from IE to Firefox. I was about 11 years old at the time. People do not have strong attachments to their web browser. If you show them a viable alternative with tangible benefits, they might switch to it.
- bootlooped 6y agoThe other day I got a message from a website something like "this site is no longer supported on Internet Explorer, please try Chrome for best experience". I was there using Firefox.

- LegitShady 6y agoI got that apartment hunting, and there was a 3d tour. The page worked fine on firefox (even with ublock running) but it still had that message.
