Safari is not even close to being a contender since it is not cross-platform.

  Market-share and global user usage says otherwise. [0] [1] [2] I know it is painful to admit, but the truth is that Firefox usage and market share is in constant decline and the users still do not care about it enough to use it. The decline started since the 2010s and continues to this decade with them still far behind. So to recycle your sentence: 'Firefox is not even close to being a contender since Chrome, Safari, Edge and Brave have successfully replaced and overtaken it'.

    > Market-share and global user usage says otherwise. Ah great. Thanks to Safari's market share I can now run it on Windows/Linux. Thanks that helps me a lot! :D

      It is clear that the data is painful for you to accept, but it is what it is. Mac users are still using Safari or Chrome-based browsers over Firefox. Even when the users aren't on macOS, it is evident that Firefox has been totally replaced by Chrome, Brave, Edge on Windows. As for 'Linux' on the Desktop, using the same sources, the data is insignificant for any browser as the usage numbers are extremely low. In fact, its so small that it is not even on the Top 10 global user usage data and is thus irrelevant to all browser market share for the Linux Desktop. But sure, Firefox on the Linux Desktop has never been more popular than ever as evidently shown by the HN commenters on this post and is even used more than Chrome. /s
