There's an evangelist effect - Apple benefited from it a lot way back when (less so now). Where techies lead, others tend to follow. That 2-5% might be the first few pebbles in the avalanche.
- linza 3y agoYou still need a tangible reason for switching. Maybe we can push, but Firefox would need to sustain the momentum and I don't see them doing it. My pet peeves: sync and app mode. I don't want to switch at the moment, tried many times, but it doesn't stick for me. If i ask my my aunt to do that, and she dislikes it, she won't do it again and won't trust me anymore on top of that.
