People have started falling off of Chrime /Google browsers just as they did Microsoft and IE; both times users finally realizing just how shite the company and browser were/are.

Is there actually any proof of this?

From my quick check, Chromium-based browsers have a very steady market share. Firefox has remained exactly the same. Safari has went up 0.8% and is obviously going to drop substantially when other browser engines are allowed on iOS.

Sure, Chrome has went down by 2%, but Opera and Edge have captured that. And they're both just chrome under the bonnet.

Yeah, I know maybe like two other people who use Firefox. Everybody else uses Chrome. And it's been that way for the last decade or so.

I still prefer Firefox, but I worry about its future because most people, including web developers, just don't care.
