Anyone else aggressively non-technical should be using their own default browser, likely Edge ... since Windows comes on their computer and Edge comes with Windows. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] jtrek@startrek.website 2 points 3 months ago In my experience, some non technical people often picked up the idea that "chrome is good" and they'll manage to install it. So I guess you're right - the bottom tier sticks completely with the defaults, but there's a sizable 2nd tier that picked up the idea that chrome is good, and not much else. permalink fedilink source parent [–] HAL_9_TRILLION@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago (1 child) Default on the phone is the only thing that really matters anymore because literally everyone has a phone, usually multiple, and only half those people have a laptop or desktop. That's why in this graph Safari is in second place even though Windows cleans Apple's clock on desktop and laptop installations. But I am surprised more people haven't jumped ship - off any Chromium browser, really. Once they really kill ublock give it a year or two before advertisers manage to do what they always fucking do - annoy the dogshit out of everybody - and you'll see people switching. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 1 point 3 months ago I honestly don't understand how anybody does things on a phone.
