The market share plot looks suspiciously clean, where are those numbers from?
Edit: looks like they're from page view data. I know I spoof my browser to show chrome for better compatibility, I wonder how common that is among Firefox users.
Do you use this extension? it allows you to do that on a site-by-site basis. Maybe only do it for sites with compatibility issues? You can report them right from the extension.
I spoof my browser (Librewolf) as Firefox for privacy and I don't encounter issues from not reporting my user agent as Chrome/Chromium. I think it's pretty uncommon for a website to not work on Firefox, so I don't see how this is necessary. The Chrome Mask extension is meant to be used on a per-site basis.
Also, I was curious if users were going down or if chrome was growing faster. Looks like it is going down, but not as much as the market share would suggest.
