In the year of manifest V3 Firefox LOST a quarter of its users

3.35%-2.47% (-26.27% total)

Why is it so low? I remember firefox havong like, 30% or something (That might’ve been Safari).

I guess people really like ads, huh.

With that, this post is sponsored by Ring cameras, to which Bezos has The One Ring To View Them All

(I’l also edit the post, because “lost 25%” makes it seem like it went from 50 to 25 and not 3 to 2)

I’m actually pretty surprised in a bad way that opera has the same market share as Firefox.
Opera was the browser which sold and sells snake oil (VPN which isn’t a VPN, Browser Limiter that uses more resources etc.) Products and who collects and shares the same amount of data as google if not more.
And the cherry on top of the ice cream is, that it is fucked up insecure in when we talk about malware.

Yep. Firefox had an opportunity to market the hell out of themselves when the news about Manifest V3 was popular. They had another opportunity when YouTube started to block adblockers cause Brave sure as hell did.

I’m pretty blackpilled on Firefox as a project with misses like that. I doubt they will have an opportunity to market themselves like this again before they end up below 1% market share in like 3 years.

I’m Vivaldi only on mobile, but I use Firefox and Mullvad on desktop. I want Firefox to succeed and thrive. It simply will not happen though. Once they lose the funding from Google, that will be the final nail in the coffin.

Mark my words: Firefox will be below 1% market share before 2030.

It’s a damn shame the state we are in.
