Firefox spokesperson Christopher Hilton tells The Verge that the browser has seen a more than 50 percent jump in users in Germany and a nearly 30 percent increase in France.

Lol, srsly, why does anyone use apple devices willingly. Like for work I sorta get it if there’s no alternative but it really took government action to compell this extremely basic customisation.
In the US at least, sadly, it’s imessage. It’s a weird social thing - if you have “green bubbles” people really look down on you.
It’s dumb and superficial, but it works.
The solution to green bubbles? Use Signal, which has blue bubbles across all platforms.
So they hook you while you’re an insecure teen and by the time you grow up you’re too entrenched in their ecosystem?
They hook you into an ecosystem. That’s it, thats the game. I don’t think it has too much to do with insecurity. Group chats and video chats with people outside of imessage is awful. Group chats lose a lot of features because SMS was all there was for a long time. Standard (not Google-ified) RCS is still too bare at the moment so I don’t think the looming rcs fixes that aspect of it.
Copying my comment from a month ago -
“Finally!
And you still see folks thinking color is what’s important.”
Honestly, it’s the first thing to come out of iPhone users mouths, and when you tell them about Signal, more often than not they say “eww I’m not installing another app”.
They’d rather an Android user spend another $1200 than install a free app. It’s not features, it’s elitism.
Their integration is the best you can get.
You need to buy an expensive phone, watch, computer (would you like to spend another thousand bucks for a monitorstand?) to take advantage of it, which is why I don’t have and don’t want anything apple. But if you have that, their software stack is superb.
The software is pretty overrated. Especially safari, which is a legitimately terrible browser and has been for a long time.
Jup, but that was only relevant on iOS, never for MacOS. Also the digital markets act will end even that.
For example you can make and receive calls on your computer instead of your phone when you are working on your PC. That is unmatched by any other ecosystem.
Edit: for the time and effort you need to put in to make it work. Yes, you can do it with anything. Linux and pine phone will for sure be capable - but no normal person will do that. Because it takes a ton of effort. Apple supports that out of the box and because everything is linked to a single ID it just works.
Umm, you can do that on any device. It’s called Google Meet, Zoom, Discord, or any other countless othe video chatting applications out there.
Apple software is pretty overrated no matter if it’s iOS or macOS. I use a MacBook for work and I use exactly zero Apple apps because they just aren’t very good.
I’m on iOS and had Firefox as my default for several years. Probably shit journo meant browsing engine.
I believe they meant prompting users to choose a default browser.
Everybody sticks to the default defaults. It’s such a truism that fairness dictated legislators got involved.
The order seems sketchy, that’s not A-z. And if they chose to order by application name, safari would be burried way down the list xD.
It’s randomized
Is it actually thats funny as fuck. But a bit sus that safari is still at the top
Just a coincidence. Safari was 8th or 9th for me while Vivaldi was first.
