Firefox has less users than desktop Safari. It shouldn't be that way, but it is. When you factor in mobile it gets worse because Chrome (the Android default) and Safari (the only real choice on iOS) are so dominant.
Also, the market share numbers reported by client side trackers like StatsCounter are very close to log file collection and analysis by companies like Kinsta.
- darig 5y agoALL my homies use Firefox. You didn't address the OP's point... how can anyone know how many Firefox users there are when Firefox users refuse to be counted? You think that the subset of people willing to install a client side tracker and the subset of people who choose to use firefox are representative of the whole? You want to believe it is that way, but it isn't.
- eric_cc 5y agoHow are you so sure? You really didn’t address OP’s point about content blocking and privacy tools.

- indymike 5y agoContent blocking does not change requests to the originating server. Firefox would have much better market share in log file analysis method studies than it does in client side tracker based studies if the OP was correct.
- jamie_ca 5y agoiOS Firefox is actually quite nice, I've been using it as my default for a year now. Biggest win for me is tab sync, so it's pretty easy to open a tab I had loaded on my phone in my desktop browser. Sure, it's using Safari as a renderer, but these days that's hardly where the differentiating value is.
