"Considering that it remains the dominant web browser for Linux" Is this actually true ? These days I use FF as my primary browser, but that's recent after a conscious (ethics driven) choice to switch. I kinda got the impression most people are just installing Chrome after install.

It's the standard browser on many distros so if we just count installations it's probably true.

  I'd need to go out of my way to uninstall it, but that doesn't mean I use it. It's far too sluggish.

  I guess Edge is the dominant web browser on Windows, then.

[Author/submitter here] I know of a handful of distros that bundle Chromium (e.g. Q4OS) or Chrome (e.g. Linux Lite) but almost every Linux that provides a browser provides Firefox as the default, AFAIAA.

  Ok, but it being bundled isn't the same as actually being used.

  Yeah, but while Windows makes Edge the default, I think Chrome is still more popular there. It would not be terribly surprising if that was also the case on Linux.
