> Dumb question: who’s Firefox target user?
These days, it seems to be people who:
* Don't want to be using a browser owned by an ethically dubious corporation
* Want a fully functional ad blocker
* Prefer vertical tabs
- Bolwin 10mo agoMind you, you can get all that and more in a browser like vivaldi. And that market is.. small. Vivaldi doesn't have to develop a browser engine
- whynotmaybe 10mo ago> Want a fully functional ad blocker My main reason but also * want to ensure competition because I'm sure that once it's chromium all the way, we're gonna have a bad time.
- charcircuit 10mo agoBrave already has an adblocker built into the browser itself and supports vertical tabs.
- akagusu 10mo agoThe problem is the list keeps shrinking since now Mozilla Corp is an ethically dubious corporation.
- someNameIG 10mo ago> Want a fully functional ad blocker Is this even the case? UBO has ~10 million users going by the extension store, Firefox has over 150 million users. So less than 10% of Firefox installs also have UBO.
