I was reading [web.dev](https://web.dev/blog/) recently and couldn't help but
think that in tech circles/articles online it's easy to get the impression that
[Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/) is a major competing
browser. Firefox actually doesn't even register. Firefox has an estimated `3%`
points in
[global market--share](https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share) and
doesn't even show up in
[mobile market--share](https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share/mobile/worldwide)
estimates.

Users implicitly use Safari (Apple) and/or some derivation of Chromium (Google
Chrome). When was the last time you saw someone {{< abbr irl "in real life" >}}
using Firefox? Not recently if you're outside the tech bubble.
