    I’d also argue Firefox is hardly mainstream at ~3% usage. Edge would be a better replacement given it comes with every Windows install (and many corporate environments don’t allow using an alternative).

      It is only used by 3%!? Wasn’t it at around 30% some years ago (not counting netscape)? This comes really as a surprise to me because in my circles even around half of non-tech inclined windows users use firefox.

      Why did it lose so many users?

        Yes. But what kind of person needs to be told this stuff? The kind of person that already knows about WEI and that most mainstream browsers are chrome based except ff?

        No. This message, then, isn’t for you and me, is it? Normal folks out there will hear that chrome is the issue and they’ll switch to edge. The suggestion, while not technically accurate, achieves the goal much more efficiently.
