Good, but like all other evil motions like this, they’ll just take a short break, rebrand it / rework it / rename it / etc… and try again. And again. And again. Until everyone gets tired.
We have to stay diligent and keep defeating these assholes every time they try to take over the entire internet.
I doubt google cares very much.
Imagine if everyone used a browser made by an advertising company.
Well, that’s nearly 3% of the market.
Google’s plan is foiled once again.
It’s about 10%. Still not a lot.
Of desktop, maybe.
Overall (and like 60% of all browsing is now mobile), no way. Mobile is where alternative browsers really suffer. Firefox actually seems OK for Android but it’s not quite as slick on many sites, probably due to them targeting Chrome. Apple force Safari on you so you can’t use Firefox at all.
You can use Firefox on iphones
Edit: you can, but not really
On iOS, Apple only allows browsers to use Safari’s WebKit. So they all use the same rendering engine, effectively making all iOS browsers Safari clones.
