The source link doesn't offer any data.

It's good to see Firefox making substantial gains against the browser that spies.

This is wonderful to hear. I hope this helps move people away from google and their products.

The latest update has been amazing. It now works really fast even when I have a lot of extensions turned on and working in the background.

That's nice and all but why is this being spammed so much? There's like two posts a day about this.

On one hand, more people using Firefox is good for competition. On the other... you're right, it doesn't seem organic.

I wouldn't use Chrome anyways.

Firefox plugins rule. ;)

Firefox has been functionally superior to Chrome for years now, and when Chromium went to a model that effectively meant Ad or otherwise blocked content had to be downloaded first and then not rendered, the motives were obvious. Chrome isn't a browser, it's an ad rendering platform.

This link has been on my homepage every single day since I made an account lol

I'm happy to see this.

I main Firefox but it's always felt slower than Chrome. I still think it is though ... So maybe I need to do a fresh install or something.
