What I don't understand is this last sentence:

"Firefox's market share is about 3 percent of all browsers, and that number goes down every year."

How is this possible? It is a better browser than all the others (IMO at least). Are they not promoting it? They must be doing something wrong and AI is not going to help increase usage.

How 'bout you look into how the purveyor of the worst operating systems ever became dominant, then get back to us?

@MagentaRocks @artemesia I think it's because Apple products come with Safari and Google products come with Chrome. You have to specifically download Firefox. Most people don't. Chrome has also generally been faster.

@MagentaRocks @dangillmor I suspect a combination of bundling with OS's and built-in browsers on IoT platforms. Opera used to be the big winner as the lightweight cheap licensed browser for things like consoles, and I doubt that Firefox has made an effort to be lighter with less cumbersome licensing
