Per recent discussion, I am now curious. If you have significantly reduced your Firefox usage in the last 5 years… why is that? (And what browser did you switch that usage to?)

(Please just relate your personal experiences, no screeds about relative browser superiority, thank you.)

@glyph I tried switching to Safari and made it about two months before I got angry and came back to Firefox, simply because the Firefox feature set is too damn good: tab containers for sandboxing certain domains, tab sending (push and pull) between multiple devices, and proper ad block extensions and privacy features.

Every time they make me angry with their ai nonsense I just remember that no other browser gets even one of those right, let alone all three.

@amethyst Trend lines suggest that at least half of Firefox users have stopped using it in the last 5 years or so, so I'm curious to hear from them — I was very surprised when I saw the public numbers because some version of the story you just related is the one I hear the most often *socially* from people who talk about Firefox at all, and I kinda assumed that their user population was holding steady as a result.

@glyph @amethyst Desktop or mobile? I think you'd need to look at those separately to get a clear picture.
