Do you have a source for a more accurate picture of Firefox' market share? Every single report I've seen shows the same thing: long downward trend and a tiny fraction of the usage of Chrome and Safari.

I have a modest (non-technical) side project (a few thousands visitors per day) that is used worldwide.

GoAccess puts Firefox at 7.8% and Google Analytics at 3.3%.

GoAccess puts Chrome at 57% and Google Analytics at 73%.

Non-technical as in "the average user isn't a nerd" ?

For non-nerd populations, these numbers seem high.

Yes I realized too late the term might be confusing. It's a radios streaming website/app, so not nerdy.

There is an Android app that uses a webview so that even favours Chrome. Also GoAccess doesn't unfortunately filter all scrappers/bots and most of them declare themselves as Chrome.

A sizeable part of the traffic is (non-app) Android and I don't think Firefox is huge there so maybe on desktop Firefox market-share is actually not as bad as we think?
