Based on the graph it doesn't look like it's working.

[–] toiletobserver@lemmy.world 11 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe the title of the graph is wrong

[–] LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah, based on the graph… none of these are search engines.

Brave will soon be overtaking poor old foxy

Maybe Servo will soon too

Still insane to me that the antitrust lawsuit went nowhere.

[–] Ptsf@lemmy.world 12 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

It was going places... But then uh... The government stopped working. So. 🤷‍♂️

And then Google stopped all pretense at moderating the far-right...

I'm curious how accurate these stats are nowadays with user agent reduction, because a lot of browsers report their UserAgent as 'Chrome' to appear as generic as possible, as one of their many measures to minimise user profiling.

Normies who know nothing about UBO are a vast majority of internet users.

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

But they used to use Firefox, then switched to Chrome and then when Firefox caught up with Chrome performance wise why did they keep using Chrome when neither are pre-installed anyways?

[–] imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Because chrome is not as bad today as IE was during that time. Normies use what is common and easy to use. Chrome is both of these things. Also, normies do not like to tinker. OOBE is what they want and lean to.

And, generally people have accepted ads in their lives. Bemuses me but what can I do? If a guest asks me why wouldn't they have ads on websites at my home, I will gladly explain why it is so. But I wouldn't explain unprompted why it is important to have UBO and dns sinkhole. Also, recent experience says that they either would not notice or think I have paid for Youtube Premium (my HTPC not even logged in YT). They have no idea.

But Chrome hasn't been the default any devices I've used other than an Android phone. People are clearly going out of their way to install Chrome, which kind of speaks against the pre-installed browsers I was expecting to see represented. Have Chromebooks become more popular?

[–] imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 12 hours ago

Chromebook probably have not become much more popular. But if I have to guess, Google Chrome still runs on fumes of popularity since it been released.

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

Well, hey - at least it's still ahead of IE...

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

I love that Microsoft Edge is lower than others supposably shouldn't Edge and fire fox be in the other category and I don't know Opera, Baidu? Be named?
