   In other news, Firefox market share appears to be quite substantial in the tech/geek scene (30%-40%), and near zero outside of it. This gets to you 1.5% or so globally. To raise its market share, Firefox needs to mostly gain non-tech users. Keep that in mind when judging their plans. Below, Firefox market share split out for different posts on my site:

     @bert_hubert @elmine you can never produce a truly exciting open source alternative if you keep trying to replicate a proprietary one after it has gained traction.

     The alternative scene faces many handicaps, funding maybe the most tragic. It has but one dramatic advantage that it unfortunately doesnt exploit: interoperability, open API's and transparency. You can do magic combining the vast amount of open source logic now available.

     @elmine you can't even get tech people to shift from WhatsApp to Signal. The alternative needs to be way way way better, visibly, before anyone changes their ways.

     @bert_hubert I’m still wondering how I can effectively convince non-tech people to install a new browser on their computer while digital awareness is so, so low with most people.
