If I were Google, instead of paying Mozilla millions to be the default search in Firefox, I'd give the money directly to the decision makers and influence them to turn Firefox into a piece of garbage filled with VPN offers, cloud integrations, "fair ads", and "AI" until nobody uses it anymore.
The market share plot looks suspiciously clean, where are those numbers from?
Edit: looks like they're from page view data. I know I spoof my browser to show chrome for better compatibility, I wonder how common that is among Firefox users.
Looks like they've linked a source to a website called statcounter. The graph appears to be smoothed or normalized, but is effectively the same data for the purpose.
Also, I was curious if users were going down or if chrome was growing faster. Looks like it is going down, but not as much as the market share would suggest.
