Where are your dashboards getting the data from?
I use Firefox, but like many Firefox users I use uBlockOrigin so I block requests to trackers like Google Analytics and StatCounter.
- fleddr 5y agoFrom Adobe analytics and sometimes Google analytics. You're right that ad blockers are on the rise, but that's also true for Chrome. Note that the points I made regarding market share seem to be consistent across the board. Whether you check Statcounter, an alternative to that, or the analytics of large websites. The story is the same: Firefox is tiny, lost in a see of dozens of equally tiny browsers.
- remram 5y agoFirefox users are running uBlock and Badger on mobile too
- asoneth 5y agoThat may be true that dashboards are under-counting Firefox, but the ultimate impact is the same. Without some kind of evidence that more than a trivial number of hits come from Firefox why would any small business pour time into catering to an audience that might exist instead of pursuing one that does?
- ric2b 5y agoFirefox sends an easily identifiable user-agent string with every request. If businesses want to operate on bad data (analytics that depend on JS), that's their fault.
- sharps1 5y agoLess than 40% use extensions. Of the most popular - uBO is less than 5%, so most people likely aren’t blocking it unless it’s the default. https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/usage-behavior https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/usage-behavior
