With its market share hitting a new low, can Firefox rise from the ashes or is this the end?

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?

    You mean like government (and business) employees that are forced to use some flavor of Internet Explorer Chromium?

      Employees? I thought OP was talking about visitors and in that case a government site is as neutral as it gets.

        And a lot of those visitors are people that are forced to use chromium - such as employees that use those governmental services as a part of work. As neutral as it gets, it doesn’t mean it is actually neutral.

        For example, some government websites only work with chromium
