    Yeah the obvious answer is chrome’s absolutely explosive dominance at a time when trust in Google was at an all time high. People forget that using Gmail and chrome and all of that stuff was basically a lifestyle flex back then, almost to the level of being an apple fanboy.

    And say what you want about Google now, chrome was hands-down the greatest browser when it came out. Nothing was as lean and clean.

      I also wonder how much the shift toward mobile devices in browser market share (>60% today from nearly non-existent 20 years ago) played into declining Firefox market share.

      Not only was Chrome lean, clean and fast at the time, it was also the default option on mobile for Android. Same for Safari on iPhone. Since (most?) people use the default option, especially if it worked well during early adoption on mobile, it seems pretty understandable why we see chrome / safari where they are in browser market share.

      Anyway, I’m glad we still have options like Firefox, and hope we don’t see decreasing support for the Gecko browser engine associated with the lower market share.
