i switched to firefox because it had tabs and ie didn't. ie7 had tabbed browsing in 2006? i later switched to chrome because firefox stopped working well and i got sick of troubleshooting. i switched to brave a few years ago and started using firefox again this year, but i'm regularly switching browsers still trying to find one i like.

the loss of market share was because of chrome, right? Google had a good reputation back then, and their browser worked easily and you could customize it. I wish there were more options that weren't modified firefox or chrome, but i get why it's tough.

If I had to guess, this chart lines up pretty well with the adoption of smartphones, so I'd say the drop is due to people using the default Android and iOS browsers on their phones. I've installed Firefox and use it on my phone but I don't know many people who bother changing from the defaults.

That makes a lot of sense! I have trouble remembering exactly when this or that tech was introduced.

Just the other day, I've been forced to watch at least 10 ads for Chrome on Youtube. Falls upon deaf ears with me, but others, I can imagine, will just mindlessly click and download that shit.
