1) Being amazing for power users and also everyone else is why power users did all their marketing work for them in the Phoenix/Firebird days and installed it on every computer they were allowed access to for more than two minutes. We did that because having people in our support-sphere using Phoenix/Firebird/Firefox made our lives much easier, and those users happier. Maybe try something bold like building in ad-blocking? Blocking pop-ups by default was basically exactly that, back in the day, and was a huge part of why we evangelized it so readily.
2) How many users do they still have who aren't power users, or didn't have their browser installed by their friendly neighborhood power user?
- jitl 5y agoI started installing Firefox on relative's computers because it was more secure than IE6. I switched to installing Chrome on relative's computers because it was more secure than Firefox. With this release's changes to auto-update policy, I think Firefox is once again the most responsible choice to install for users who aren't interesting in making that kind of choice for themselves.
