Firefox used to be on top of the world with almost a third of all internet users using Firefox. These days, they make up a pitiful 2.7% of the market share. What happened?

    I’d be among the first to agree that Mozilla has made a lot of bad choices, but this video doesn’t cover the important ones, whines interminably about some trivial ones, and generally says very little that’s of interest. And I’ve already seen it linked to like 3 times on lemmy.

    What happened? Chrome happened with massive marketing from Google, it’s amazing Firefox held on like it has.

    Hopefully Firefox can make a resurgence, but they don’t have Google money
