That number is incorrect, per Mozilla: https://blog.mozilla.org/metrics/2009/11/09/firefox-hits-25-... The peak was 25%.

At the time, it was a common talking point that Firefox never got beyond 25% market share. I’m not sure why statcounter has questionable data for that period. Here’s a Mozilla blog post from 2009 celebrating hitting 25%: https://

The amount of money put into these R&D projects is small in the grand scheme of things. The entire eVTOL space is ~$5bn. Compare this with $6.5bn for the replacement span of the Oakland Bay Bridge or $113bn for California’s non-existen
