    Honestly not sure why more people don’t use Firefox. It’s brilliant, especially with uBlock and Sponsorblock added.

      Most people on their phones use the default browser, either Chrome or whatever Chromium-based the manufacturer includes. But otherwise it’s the browser included with the Facebook app, as some are literally locked into the Facebook-and-Youtube walled garden.

      2 reasons imo.

      1. Chrome inertia. Everyone who’s locked into it from the says it was legitimately faster.
      2. Every time it gets mentioned, it’s supporters like to “no true Scotsman” the original project and suggest their preferred fork instead.

            Yeah but if you need to use a browser are you seriously going to support Google over Mozilla?

              no, but we weren’t talking about that. the topic was “why more people don’t use Firefox” I’m replying to you in Librewolf. I still don’t have to like Firefox, nor recommend it to people at this point.

                Forks are also fine. But the phrasing often can come across in a way that supports chrome

                  I don’t really care. :)

                  Edit: There are other options than just Chrome and Firefox even without the forks. Most people just don’t wanna use them.

        What direction is that? I haven’t been keeping up, I just use the browser.

          pro-AI for starters, lots of people aren’t happy with that. (this is related to the AI, but started long before then: ) their insistence on focusing on anything else but the actual browser, Firefox also occasionally changes (privacy related) settings after upgrade (Edit: as reported by users online) or when they installed extensions remotely to people’s browsers as part of some kind of promo (I believe it was Mr. Robot?).

          There might be more, but this is what I can think of from the top of my head.

          Edit: typos

      I think being the only browser with a credible stance on ad blockers will help them in the long run.

        There might not be a long run if google can dictate web development enough in the short term to essentially kill off all competition.

      I use it and I install it on every family and work PC I can but the memory of the bloated Firefox that made so many originally switch to chrome is still there. I want apple to base their browser on Firefox to maybe get some traction back
