Really sad. In Germany, Firefox sits comfortably at 10% market share, and actually is having a slight uptick in the last month.

Wait until Google implements manifest V3 and "kills" adblockers. Firefox will become cool again for the normies.

People are so used to seeing ads they probably wont bother, i have friends who work in IT who just acceppt that half of the sites they visit are full of annoying flashy and intrusive ads.

I will wait and see. We could see Google pulling it's weight to convince publishers to start blocking Firefox. Google is not just going to sit and watch its market share shrink.
