Also the 2 people per month downloading Firefox probably do it for privacy reasons, harder to convince them than a user using a Big Tech browser to use a different Big Tech browser.
Yeah, using Firefox is a real hassle compared to Edge or Chrome. It’s really only worth it if you’re hardcorde into privacy but barely usable for your average Joe /s
Come on, you gotta go all the way to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/windows/, click the big download button and install it. What a chore ! Who would willingly do all of these three steps ?
Exactly! Chrome is just so much easier to install. All you have to do is go to https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/, click the big download button and install it. So much easier!
Using marketshare as a metric to see how good something is, is a delusional idea. By your logic, iPhones would be the best phones and Macbooks would be best laptops, none of which are true. Both are bought majorly by people who want to throw money for social status, and FCP or FL Studio users are somewhere below 3%.
Just that I’m not surprised Microsoft doesn’t bother targeting Firefox with this popup. Microsoft’s goal is to get more market share and going after Firefox users is not going to get much of it. Even if they somehow convince every single Firefox users to use Edge they would still be far behind Chrome.
Why would Microsoft go out of their way to defend against Firefox? The people who primarily use Firefox (including me) are set in their ways and far less willing to switch browsers than, say, the 90% of people who use Chrome.
Persistence is the key to changing minds, sometimes chipping away at your liberties with reasons, sometimes with excuses. Each privacy-less person is a puppet in the making for the elites.
Chrome is where the market share is.

I’m not saying Firefox is less good or anything.

Microsoft targeted Firefox many times in the past with Edge default popups.
