This is what happens when your usage share is basically a rounding error.
I love firefox, i've been using it since version 1.0 to today.
However mozilla really has been directionless, its no surprise that nobody cares when the browser has basically devolved into copying everything that chrome does, but a year later and not as good.
- beart 7mo agoFirefox is still ahead of Chrome in several areas. - multi account containers - ublock origin (and extensions in general) - extensions on Android Firefox has also recently improved tabs with a number of features. I haven't used Chrome in a long time, so I don't know if these exist there. Firefox just works, and blocks ads, and doesn't randomly decide I'm not allowed to do things it doesn't' approve of anymore (like block ads with ublock origin). What features does Chrome provide in the last year (that presumably would not yet be copied by Firefox)?
- bawolff 7mo agoI think multi container accounts are too niche to move the needle, but mobile extension and better ad block are fair points. > What features does Chrome provide in the last year (that presumably would not yet be copied by Firefox)? That's the thing though, when you are ahead you can coast on being the same. When you are behind you don't have that luxury. You have to be better in some way and not just mildly (i.e. you need some killer app). If marginally better was enough we would all be using plan9. Maybe the ad blocking story can become that for firefox, but i think chrome would have to get a lot more heavy handed before that can really become a marketing win for firefox.
