Firefox 12.58% for Desktop Browser Market Share in North America June 2026

I wonder if Firefox is a better user agent string for bots or AI?

Or perhaps some big IT departments are switching the employee base from Chrome to Firefox because it now has better ad blockers?

A mass of end-users switching browsers on their phones or home computers doesn't seem to line up with the reality that I'm living in though, though.

[flagged] means flagged by users; if it was done by the system, it'd be [dead].

I can't speak for others, but the reason I flagged it is that the number is untrustworthy and absurd. This is not an isolated case, Statcounter has these ridiculous errors on a monthly basis on one stat or another, before they silently fix whatever was wrong and the numbers swing wildly the other way. A discussion of a Statcounter spike is as fruitful as a discussion about the output of an RNG.

They have internal tracker blocking. Also, using brave and caring about privacy is rich.

and those who care use Vivaldi it other alternatives anyway

I recently switched phone (Pixel 6a with swollen battery to Xiaomi 13 (Shizuku solves most of the issues without installing custom ROM, which they made impossible through bootloader unlocking process)) and for now decided to not install Cromite yet, but keep Firefox which was offered in browser choice at beginning, still feel very annoyed by the new (not customizable) context menu, but they keep making it even more annoying like with blue persistent for telling you you had downloaded something as if regular notification wouldn't be enough and of course there is no way to get rid off the blue dot besides deleting download (record), just another annoyance

or now they finally semi fixed home page with 8 pinned shortcuts, but despite not having anything else on home page you must still tap Show all, to see other shortcuts, why can't I show all the shortcuts directly on home page is beyond me, so much for Firefox customization
