It’s wild. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago (4 children) By which metric? Also if we go about market share, then none of the alternatives are "major" browsers. Firefox is one of the few major browsers that on the market, that is relevant. Major in the sense like the Top 4 browsers or so. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] confusedwiseman@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago (3 children) A childishly simplistic one. I grabbed that number from Wikipedia. I find Firefox so much better than chrome or edge, I can’t believe some metric puts some order of magnitude around 3%. Triple it to 9%, and if still wish for better. There’s only 3-4 browser platforms chromium, safari, and Firefox which might be better said as gecko and web-kit. Ladybird and Orion are trying to enter this market with something new. *this information is probably close to right but I didn’t double check it first. Chrome and edge are basically the same now. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago (1 child) I don't understand what you are saying. Linux also had only a few percentage "market share" (say users), but it was and still is one of the few major operating systems. And that's the point. Its not always about the market share.

That's why it has really solid support. Also why I think Linux mobile isn't taking off as quickly because enterprise use iOS for most of their mobile systems. permalink fedilink source parent [–] marcie@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago Don't forget about Servo! permalink fedilink source parent [–] hobata@lemmy.ml -5 points 1 month ago (1 child) FireWHAT?
