Google did start advertising chrome, but the speed of chrome (and stability) was not fake and it won over the early adopters.
Firefox dropped the ball at the time, and now even tho it has mostly caught up in speed and stability, their market share doesn't grow because it's not substantially better feature wise.
May be the adblock wars can change that, because chrome seems to be going towards eliminating adblocker.
- flurie 3y agoThere's a feature I use heavily that I cannot get in Chrome: Multi-Account Containers[1]. [1] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account...
- chii 3y agounfortunately, such a feature is so niche that almost nobody cares about it, and so does not move the needle in the fight against chrome. According to a quick statistic search, firefox has about 363 million users, while the multi-account addon has about 368,938 users - that's 0.1% of users. Compared to ublock origin, which has 7,388,295 and thus is at least within 2% of all users.
- out-of-ideas 3y agoi do wish FF shipped the multi-account-containers bundled with the install of FF; it is quite possibly the #1 most used plugin - esp with each tab being a random temp containter. It might be confusing for some folks with the advanced bit; but professionally it saves the day when testing front ends and peoples instructions are "clear your cache, find out how via your browser ect" - nah just open a new temp container
