I use Firefox across all my devices. It's fantastic. The people who actually care about browsers (and, perhaps, "anonymity", or "doing the right thing") have all largely moved on from Chrome.

I'm sure you really tip the scales.

Well then clearly most people don't care do they?

Isn't that the point? Firefox isn't having a significant impact. They aren't achieving what they say they want to.

Safari's having much more of an impact.

Why get so upset about someone whom you are apparently certain has no impact?

I’m not upset about anything.

But a datapoint of one is meaningless.

> Safari's having much more of an impact.

So what? Is there a limit to the number of browsers in the world?

So what is it’s Safari keeping balance not Firefox. The original comment wasn’t right. You can’t keep balance with single-digit market-share.
Okay, that's good. Hopefully they will continue. Goal is to not have single-browser monopoly, so everyone develop according to the standards not optimize against single engine.

What's the point in arguing who is better balance keeper?
