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?

    The day Firefox shutters its doors is the day the internet truly dies.

    *the web

    The internet has so far been doing a much better job surviving as a proper decentralized system than the web.

      Really? What’s left of the Internet beyond the web?

      How many people use Usenet today, rather than forums or social media on the web?

      How many people use IRC, rather than Slack? (Either on the web or in a Chromium-backed desktop app)

      How many people use an email client, rather than webmail?
