Sure, this is what it looks like if/when we've fully lost the fight.

Those of us who currently recommend Firefox are hoping that there's still enough time to do something about this.

Maybe it's already too late, but you might as well try, you know?

Firefox is <2% user base at this point, and financially completely beholden to Google.

The fight was lost long ago, several times (once when they decided to throw out thousands of developer work years by gimping all the addons)

My entire point is that firefox is as 2% because all of us petty and pathetic individuals are unwilling to do even the littleist thing to make the world a better place at our own expense.

Using a slightly worse (and I argue it isn't even) web browser won't kill you, yet everyone on here has excuse after excuse to continue to help google have control over the entire internet.

Pathetic.

Google is just as beholden to Firefox existing, if it doesn’t want to be sued to oblivion.
I'm not sure "I'm not a monopoly, look my competitor owns 2% of the market" is an effective defense anyway?

I think only Safari really counts as a "competitor" at 20% market share and doesn't share the chromium base (compared to edge, etc).
