Firefox users represent a very small portion of the user-base. Also it's in their interest to nudge you towards chrome, no?

Among minority market-share browsers Safari gets more attention because the users are wealthier -> ad impressions can be sold for more.

Safari users are not necessarily wealthier than Firefox users. Apple skews more mainstream and Firefox skews more techies.

Apple users are likes AOL users of yesteryear. Firefox users are like freenet users. AOL users have more money but are less techie. Firefox users are more techie but broke.

Sure but let's see average user data first before making these claims. Aren't Apple products popular among kids? Kids are usually poor and would bring the wealth average down.

But kids often have parents who aren't poor. IIRC children's toys are a pretty profitable and segment.

The point is wealth per user, not potential wealth per user. Parents don't always buy their kids the same high grade devices that they use.
