[QUOTE="cofer123, post: 1067700, member: 92976"] Because these other browsers with lower market share all run on chromium. As such, if a site has been tested on Chrome, it will work on those browsers as well. Years of Mozilla alienating users with hostile decisions that drove people away. Firefox initially spread during a time where IE6 was the alternative, and that was reason enough to give it a try. Word of mouth from tech enthusiasts also promoted Firefox everywhere. Then came Chrome and it was years ahead of Firefox in terms of speed and security. Mozilla took years to finally move Firefox into multiprocessing and stronger security models (which are still to this day not 100%), and Google took that widow to push Chrome everywhere. Firefox on Android is still terribly slow and memory hungry when compared to any chromium browser, and it offers little against alternative browsers like Brave or Vivaldi. Then Mozilla, instead of playing on the strengths of Firefox, decided to replicate features Chrome had and to make it as similar as possible to Chrome to make it easier for users move from Chrome to Firefox (this is their words, not mine, from years of reading devs on bugzilla justifying their bad decisions). If I wanted Chrome, I would be on Chrome, not Chromefox. Firefox's demise is 100% on Mozilla. I still use it, not because I like it, but because I find the alternatives worse. The best thing that could happen to Firefox is for Mozilla to cease to exist. [/QUOTE]
