A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The fall of Firefox: Mozilla's once-popular web browser slides into irrelevance (www.zdnet.com)

Article seems pretty flawed. Relevance is a vague metric, and the author relies pretty heavily on data related to government site visitation, which seems subject to bias toward certain types of users.

Market share is likely still incredibly low, but Firefox's relevance should be spiking right now due to Google's shenanigans with Chromium. The fact that like 90% of revenue for its for-profit wing is from Google is still troubling.

Any alternative views out there?

I would say a good half of posts on Lemmy are too click-baity for me to actually look at. Every title clearly has picked a side and it's rare to see something even attempt to be impartial

I can't disagree with you. I feel like that's the way of the world anymore regardless of platform.

Agreed, unfortunately you're right
