and those who care use Vivaldi it other alternatives anyway
I recently switched phone (Pixel 6a with swollen battery to Xiaomi 13 (Shizuku solves most of the issues without installing custom ROM, which they made impossible through bootloader unlocking process)) and for now decided to not install Cromite yet, but keep Firefox which was offered in browser choice at beginning, still feel very annoyed by the new (not customizable) context menu, but they keep making it even more annoying like with blue persistent for telling you you had downloaded something as if regular notification wouldn't be enough and of course there is no way to get rid off the blue dot besides deleting download (record), just another annoyance
or now they finally semi fixed home page with 8 pinned shortcuts, but despite not having anything else on home page you must still tap Show all, to see other shortcuts, why can't I show all the shortcuts directly on home page is beyond me, so much for Firefox customization
Seems wrong. W3Counter shows the same % for June as for May (note that it's not only counting desktop share so it's much lower at 1.4%). https://www.w3counter.com/globalstats.php
Chrome has enshittified so much that I don't know how anyone uses it.
It actively violates users and shoves trackers and malware up their wazoo. And you're stuck in the cage with the abuser. There's no way to turn off the fucking ads.
The Google Chrome team ought to be ashamed for what they've done.
I'm hoping the AI era serves Google a much-needed comeuppance.
It's much more likely to be a methodology issue than that Firefox's install base suddenly grew 240% in such a short period of time. Maybe some AI scraper juicing the numbers? Mozilla's telemetry could confirm this, so if they don't start bragging about a huge MAU increase, I'd assume this is wrong.

Why was this auto [flagged] by HN? I had to vouch this.
Edit: Aaaaand, [flagged] again in 26 minutes with no explanation.
Edit2: Since I'm "posting too fast" once again, I'll just have to reply to you here. "flagged by users" in four minutes? I don't think so. Besides if hacking statscounter was so easy that it happens monthly as you claim (despite that not being proven out on the chart), it seems like a relevant discussion for a site named "Hacker News."
[flagged] means flagged by users; if it was done by the system, it'd be [dead].
I can't speak for others, but the reason I flagged it is that the number is untrustworthy and absurd. This is not an isolated case, Statcounter has these ridiculous errors on a monthly basis on one stat or another, before they silently fix whatever was wrong and the numbers swing wildly the other way. A discussion of a Statcounter spike is as fruitful as a discussion about the output of an RNG.
