![]() This is a problem because we have one company, Google, controlling every web standard going into our browsers. But, if we take out iPhones and include only Android based devices, Firefox (and its forks) are the only mobile browser that doesn’t use Chromium’s engine and it only has 0.5% market share. The non-Chromium based Safari does take up 25% of mobile market share when you include iPhones. It gets even worse when you include mobile web browsers. When this is done, Chromium based browsers make up more than 80% of the market share. Google’s dominance over browser market share gets even more scary when you include other Chromium based browsers such as Edge and Opera. They also have a huge incentive to get as much control of web standards as possible to increase their profits. ![]() That is 70% of the web is controlled by just one company, a company that makes money by selling your user data and pushing ads. If you look at the current desktop browser market share, Chrome takes up almost 70%. So, Firefox is our last hope for a non-Chromium based browser. ![]()
