@Rusty @catsalad Google does some BS in Chrome, and FF copies it. I'm not the only one seeing this.

And this post is 11 years old.
Again. If Firefox would be a GOOD alternative, FF wouldn't be down to 3% marketshare.
And no. Normandy is way more powerful. It can change the whole profile. Just read Mozilla own docs about it.
@Arsimael @catsalad Mastodon has a miniscule share of overall microblogging users. If it was a good alternative to Twitter it would have more users. Let me link a litany of angry Reddit threads about how Mastodon is terrible as the basis of my argument, because testimonials are known to be the most reliable source of information.
Firefox's decline couldn't be, y'know, market forces, divestments in Mozilla, monopolistic business practices by Apple/Google/Microsoft, the overall decline in desktop users outside of corporate settings, and the fact that overall tech literacy among the newer generation is going down. No, it's probably because they have A/B testing and made Reddit angry by simplifying the browser interface 11 years ago. Nevermind the dozens of forks that address every issue they have with Firefox without caving to giving Google a monopoly on the web with Blink.
