This is unlikely to get the Opera GX fanboys to switch.

Good article though. Fuck that noise.

Why would we need them to switch? Shouldn't we just leave them be if they're happy that way?

Firefox’s total global market share is 3.3%. They’re practically losing their influence over the web with numbers that small. So while I’m generally in favor of letting people access the web however they’d like, I’m not naive to the idea of advocating for the little guy.

More importantly, using Firefox (or any of its forks) would mean less people are dependent on Google's Chromium. With less people depending on Google's Chromium, the less Google can swing its weight around, imposing its dictum on unsuspecting users.
