#2Why was this auto [flagged] by HN? I had to vouch this.
Edit: Aaaaand, [flagged] again in 26 minutes with no explanation.
Edit2: Since I'm "posting too fast" once again, I'll just have to reply to you here. "flagged by users" in four minutes? I don't think so. Besides if hacking statscounter was so easy that it happens monthly as you claim (despite that not being proven out on the chart), it seems like a relevant discussion for a site named "Hacker News."

#3Wait, is this correct? Firefox moved from 5% to 12% in one month? That seems unlikely...

Didn't Google recently remove the flag that let Manifest V2 ad blockers work from Chrome?

Chrome has enshittified so much that I don't know how anyone uses it.
It actively violates users and shoves trackers and malware up their wazoo. And you're stuck in the cage with the abuser. There's no way to turn off the fucking ads.
The Google Chrome team ought to be ashamed for what they've done.
I'm hoping the AI era serves Google a much-needed comeuppance.

Yeah, really looks like some sort of data error

Seems wrong. W3Counter shows the same % for June as for May (note that it's not only counting desktop share so it's much lower at 1.4%). https://www.w3counter.com/globalstats.php

#10It's much more likely to be a methodology issue than that Firefox's install base suddenly grew 240% in such a short period of time. Maybe some AI scraper juicing the numbers? Mozilla's telemetry could confirm this, so if they don't start bragging about a huge MAU increase, I'd assume this is wrong.
