Reasons to ditch Chrome and use Firefox

Re:Reasons to ditch Chrome and use Firefox by ByteJockey on Saturday May 28, 2022 @09:11AM (#31540071)

Pretty much. People say that tech people switching doesn't do anything, but when tech people switch, semi-technical people get it via osmosis (forum posts for FF the first time, presumably reddit posts today). Suddenly when someone asks their friend that's slightly more technical than them for a recommendation, they get recommended the new thing instead of the old one.

Whole process takes a couple years or so.

Then why is FF marketshare still tanking despite all the techies hyping it?

All the techies aren't hyping it. Most people that I know just use Chrome. My running joke whenever I see someone else using it in a Zoom share or something is "found the other Firefox user!"

Android and to some extent iOS, are the reason.
