Article seems pretty flawed. Relevance is a vague metric, and the author relies pretty heavily on data related to government site visitation, which seems subject to bias toward certain types of users.
Market share is likely still incredibly low, but Firefox’s relevance should be spiking right now due to Google’s shenanigans with Chromium. The fact that like 90% of revenue for its for-profit wing is from Google is still troubling.
Any alternative views out there?
I’ve found the reason it’s not great on mobile is because even if you tell your android phone to use Firefox as default it simply ignores it and uses chrome anyways
Edit: I was able to get it to work properly as my default browser but I had to disable chrome in the app settings. Now it’s great
Just fully remove chrome. I do not even have chrome on my phone. Firefox works fine on mobile. Have no idea why people think it does not.
You can disable chrome in it’s app settings!
Disable chrome. Problem solved.
be sure to actually launch firefox and don’t use the google ‘app’ either.
What phone do you use that you experience this?
Can’t confirm. My default browser and web view are Firefox on both Sony and Samsung devices.
