Does anyone know if they're displaying similar popups on the Firefox download page?
- IiydAbITMvJkqKf 5y agoFirefox' market share is low enough that I'd be surprised if Microsoft wasted even one developer hour implementing this for Firefox downloads.
- catfishx 5y agoWell, its almost as high as Edges market share
- bityard 5y ago"Almost as high" is a strange way to put it since its popularity has been dropping steadily over the last decade. And Edge market share is only going up. Now that Firefox is no longer in the top 3 (in the Western market, further down world-wide), we can expect it to lose relevance even more quickly. Especially since Mozilla leadership has studiously avoided any effort to differentiate themselves from from Google/Chrome. They missed a huge chance to become The Privacy Browser that puts users in control of their web experience when Google and Facebook recently got all that bad press about privacy violations and monopolistic behavior.
- zamadatix 5y agoAn Edge's worth of desktop browser usage share of users are searching for different browsers is why it wouldn't even be worth an hour of dev time to show the message? The point GP made was Firefox was worth targeting not that Firefox is going to be more popular the Edge.
