Some of the market share numbers are wrong, because they're based on privacy-violating trackers that Firefox users are more savvy about blocking, rather than (say) `User-Agent` headers.
But that doesn't matter to people who only care about what the trackers and/or ads show.

Can you provide a citation? I don't really buy that; otherwise, the market share numbers would quickly go to 0%. Also, it seems you can easily find online, regardless of source, that Firefox is around ~3%.
- crtasm 2y agoI think they mean are more likely to be savvy in that respect. Not every Firefox user adds/enables extra protection against them, so it doesn't go to 0%.
