idk, get more people to use it? Release a standalone password manager that integrates nicely? Buy some ads on instagram or something?



If I get a nickel every time an advertising company in possession of a mainstream web browser gains a reputation for an accumulated history of product graveyards, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.


We might be able to get you up to a whole dollar, just listing off the various chat/messaging apps Google has killed off over the years. I take it as an opportunity to move to FOSS/self-hosted substitutes when that happens.


How you would benefit from FF having more users?


Sites would not mark my session as suspicious so much which causes me so many evil captchas


More developers would test for Firefox again.


I do all my dev in Firefox and rarely test in Chrome. I've been made aware of maybe a handful of issues over many many years doing it this way. If it works in Firefox, 99.9% of the time, it's also working in Chrome.


That's because, with a few exceptions, everything Firefox implements is a subset of what Chrome, and increasingly Safari support
