Comment on Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome

I have been hearing about FFs imminent demise for about 20 years now...

It will likely never die entirely, but it's what... less 10% of its peak market share back in 2010?

And?
What does that matter?
This is not a popularity contest.

Pretty much is though. For Google not to impose its will on the internet as a whole, there needs to be meaningful competition. Firefox, for whatever reason, went from a browser capable of influencing policy to a niche browser for nerds, myself included.
So yes, the future of accessibility is very much a popularity contest and Chromium is sitting pretty with 70+% of the votes.

No, it isn't.
I have been hearing this shit for 20 years.
Google pays mozilla to keep it alive so they can side step anti-trust laws.
I hate to break it to you but google already dominate the web.
FF is not going anywhere.
