kinda funny how even since april 2012 I still see more people using firefox than chrome.
Where do these numbers come from? I suspect this has something to do with universities switching to chrome, and installing it on all 9 gorillion of their computers

Also not "android" isnt a webbrowser, the default browser in android IS "chrom". So every smartphone ever made is adding points to "chrome", which really took off starting around 2010 - 2013, where chrome really began to grow.

>>57363977

if a few ms is enough to get you to betray your privacy by using chrome, then you are a gigantic faggot who deserves everything coming to you

So more people are using a competitor browser...ok, keep me posted

"There are lies, bloody lies and statistics.."

The default browser of android identifies itself as chrome, so whenever an android uses the web you get +1 for the chrome statistics.

I weep for the fate of Firefox, but I don't regret the switch. Perhaps one day I shall return to its warm embrace...

>>57364254

You forgot:
-gmail
-youtube
-googlemaps
-golang
-react

..the list goes on and on. Basically google know what you write to whom, where you meet, what music you like, what you are searching for in the internet and so on. Just a few more years they control everything and then we will pay for it, one way or another.

Mark my words.

>>57366254
They really do control pretty much everything though. Even how people react or think, or what they decide to do when searching.

just look at smartwatches now. They're so, so convenient. You can use like 30 different services between that and your smartphone that track how you behave, what you eat, where you go frequently and even stuff you wouldn't trust your friends to know.

It has gotten so, so scary that you should just embrace it.

Here's the desktop-only chart, anon. Chrome is actually even more dominant in this one. Explain that with

>>57366863
IE was shit and Firefox decided to become just a lame copy of Chrome so there was no more reason to use it over Chrome.

Never tried Edge, maybe it's alright but it just came too late when Chrome was already established.

If they want to break Chrome's market dominance they would have to come up with a browser that brings some serious convenience advantage and pray that Google doesn't just copy it within a couple of days. Anon's chart here >>57366885 proves that it is not just about being the stock browser, people are actually willing to install a new one.

I'll never understand why so many programs try to just copy the more successful competitor rather than coming up with something new that sets them apart
It's a fucking death sentence, if you turn your program into a copy of the other - even if you do it perfectly - it is still inferior because it will always lack behind in development since you're just aping.

>>57367065
Mozilla has no time to come up with their own design and features for a simple web browser when they have so many minority outreach programmes to manage.

When will those furfags learn that Firefox era is over? It used to be the best browser around, but now it's just a Chrome clone, face it.

>>57366885
Because, chromium, Opera, and other forks of chromium are counted as "Chrome".

>>57367230
Opera absolutely isn't counted as Chrome. Chromium is, and should be, but is only a tiny, tiny fraction of the market, considering desktop Linux is at about 1% market share and most freetards won't use Chromium. Windows users are even less likely to seek it out, with only third party builds available. It's completely insignificant to Chrome's overall domination. As would Opera be, even if it was counted. None of the other Chromium forks have enough users to be relevant either.
