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?

youre mad that firefox gets funded by google and all they have to do is change one setting thats easily changeable by the user on install?

if you are that mad... then donate to mozilla.

no. but very echochamberlike reaction.

which button removes the managing board?

[-] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 months ago

same as any other corporation.

be a publicly traded company and buy shares

or be on the board of directors.

it is one example. sure one could switch. so why not random search engine on install? because money. the managing board seems to eat money. i am still missing weave server. i still miss plugins from before they made these drastic changes back then.... all the freaking time they make the wromg decisions. and their supporters are like a militia...just mentioning what one thinks might be the problem with FF as a horde of ppl like you just reflex talking the same shit that did not get more people to like ff or moz. thunderbird will die the same way. why on earth did they waste resources to have a calender and drive more devs away? always the wrong decisions. always.
