8.2% isn’t nothing but I also wonder if it’s worth anything to Google. That would bring Firefox from ~3.3% to 11.5% of the browser market share if everyone switched to non-chromium browsers.
I just wonder if that’s enough for anything. It’s better than nothing of course, and for those users that switch there’s almost nothing but benefits, It’s more just that I have doubts about the willingness of the general public caring enough, and if 10% of people will have an effect for Firefox or against Google
IMO ~+10%pt just provide Google with a thicker armor against antitrust lawsuits. “Hey hey hey, can’t sue us! We have a competitor with ~15% of the market! And we helped them get there! Look at the 500 million we give them per year!”.
If Mozilla wanted to be a threat to Google, IMO they could, but they’d rather pay their CEO 5M, fire a few hundred engineers, and spend a fraction of their Google money on Firefox.
So max 37M users possibly willing to switch away from Chrome should it not be available anymore. Not nothing.
