The fall of Firefox: Mozilla's once-popular web browser slides into irrelevance
The fall of Firefox: Mozilla's once-popular web browser slides into irrelevance
With its market share hitting a new low, can Firefox rise from the ashes or is this the end?
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?
You're viewing a single thread.
but when you tell the moz fanboys why moz sucks you'll find yourself in a meta/maga like echochamber. again and again moz made absolute shit decisions, the managing board is eating money like mad and google is STILL your default search engine. pathetic.
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?
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.
What I don't get is why hasn't there been a split yet. Not like Seamonkey, but from major developers of FF.
And then the person saying that FF blows because Google is the default browser uses… a Chromium wrapper.
