Probably cause most users don't actually care, otherwise Firefox would have more than single digit market share.

That's because the competing browsers are owned by some of the largest corps on earth that invest a lot in to making sure their browser has as much share as possible.

You may as well say that moviegoers don't care about art because studios only finance superhero franchise films.

Do they? Do you think the audience drives the genre of movies that are popular or vice versa?

Braves success proves that's Firefox's problem, and not that user's don't care about privacy.

Brave has <1% market share.

They are growing, something that can't be said about Firefox.
Brave would grow more if it stopped stuffing in every crypto blockchain feature it possibly could. I swear, every 3rd update adds some new annoying feature to turn off.

I've been daily driving Brave on every machine and device I have for a year or so now... and I really wish they would have just stuck with the "Privacy Focused Chromium" thing. They've wandered far down this path of "lets just add every feature that comes to mind" and it's really not helping it's usefulness.

Well, they got to make money somehow. Firefox also has ads now.
