With the exception of Linux, Firefox is not installed by default anywhere. You have Edge on Windows, which is based on Chromium, and Chrome pushing its installation when you visit any Google property. So no wonder Firefox has the market share that has.
- rc_mob 3y agoUs technology leaders should be sneakily installing it on all of our grandma's computers and swapping icons to make it look like Chrome
- binkHN 3y agoUntil something doesn't work, because it hasn't been tested on Firefox, and Grandma calls complaining. :(
- paulryanrogers 3y agoThis is the tyranny of the majority. Devs often won't even test Safari. They check one browser. Once that was IE. Now it's Chrome. I run into site quirks on Firefox from billion dollar companies and government sites at least weekly.

And I had more update issues with Firefox than chrome (chrome was never outdated, firefox sometimes was versions behind until I manually opened the about dialog)
- cptskippy 3y agoMy mom has been running Firefox for probably a decade at this point without complaint.
