Firefox for Android has a smaller user base than Samsung Internet and Opera. It's 0.5%. It's a waste of time working on supporting it. Especially considering how little time people put into making sure their sites work for people using accessibility software. I don't think it's worth mentioning in these issues unless you're also ready to talk about UC Browser.
- makeitdouble 2y agoI wanted to quickly check the 0.5%, and see 1.2% in Japan for instance, where iPhone have near 80% share. https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share/mobile/japan https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share/mobile/japan That's still not a lot, but above 1% is a decent threshold to decide to support a browser.

- johannes1234321 2y agoIs that somewhat biased? - I assume the number of people using Firefox has a quite big overlap with people using ad&tracking blockers, which block many statistic sites. (Website operators may log user agent which will be somewhat accurate still)
- marcus_holmes 2y agoThis is always something I question whenever the analytics numbers come out. I know my adblocker blocks GA, so I'm not going to be included in any GA statistics. Every time I've asked a marketing person about this they get hand-wavy about "it all comes out in the wash". But meanwhile they say things like "our analytics show that our market is mostly older and non-tech-savvy people". I'm not sure that the analytics numbers do actually show that. I think that's just the demographic that you can see.
