Based on the graph it doesn't look like it's working.

    Still insane to me that the antitrust lawsuit went nowhere.

    I'm curious how accurate these stats are nowadays with user agent reduction, because a lot of browsers report their UserAgent as 'Chrome' to appear as generic as possible, as one of their many measures to minimise user profiling.

    Normies who know nothing about UBO are a vast majority of internet users.

    But they used to use Firefox, then switched to Chrome and then when Firefox caught up with Chrome performance wise why did they keep using Chrome when neither are pre-installed anyways?

    Because chrome is not as bad today as IE was during that time. Normies use what is common and easy to use. Chrome is both of these things. Also, normies do not like to tinker. OOBE is what they want and lean to.

    And, generally people have accepted ads in their lives. Bemuses me but what can I do? If a guest asks me why wouldn't they have ads on websites at my home, I will gladly explain why it is so. But I wouldn't explain unprompted why it is important to have UBO and dns sinkhole. Also, recent experience says that they either would not notice or think I have paid for Youtube Premium (my HTPC not even logged in YT). They have no idea.

    But Chrome hasn't been the default any devices I've used other than an Android phone. People are clearly going out of their way to install Chrome, which kind of speaks against the pre-installed browsers I was expecting to see represented. Have Chromebooks become more popular?
