> Firefox was and still is mostly used by "power users" and we're pretty much the only ones left that intentionally install the browser. This really isn't the case. Firefox has almost 200 million users, yet sub 10% of them have uBlock Origin installed: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/ublock-origin... Less than half have any extensions installed (with extensions include language packs): https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/usage-behavior https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/usage-behavior The users who talk about Firefox online are not the average user.

That's a clever way to get a lower bound for power users. I'm surprised. But also, I did qualify my statement and said people who install firefox. I wonder how many of those 200 million users did, or how many of them had it installed by some power user who set up their computer. I know there are at least a couple dozen people right now who are Firefox users because I installed it and put it front and center on the computers I built or setup or fixed for them.
