I don't believe these numbers.

Here is a screenshot from my self hosted Matomo installation for my traffic today up until now:

Firefox blocks most analytics scripts by default, so these articles rely on very skewed data.

Any other devs with self hosted tracking solutions want to share how their browser stats look like?

The tech-crowd uses Firefox quite a bit. Four of my tech oriented sites show FF between 15% and 20% of traffic. But that uses goatcounter (not self hosted), which I know can get blocked by ad-ons.

The other challenge is that most bots use Chrome as their UA string, so any bots you fail to filter out will inflate Chrome's numbers.

I actually see more traffic from Pale Moon than from Edge. Edge looks dead.
