Chrome now directly tracks users, generates a "topic" list it shares with advertisers.

    I wonder how long until Firefox has until it is rendered useless.

    I have been hearing about FFs imminent demise for about 20 years now…

      It will likely never die entirely, but it’s what… less 10% of its peak market share back in 2010?

            No, it isn’t.

            I have been hearing this shit for 20 years.

            Google pays mozilla to keep it alive so they can side step anti-trust laws.

            I hate to break it to you but google already dominate the web.

            FF is not going anywhere.

              Did I ever say it was going away?

              MySpace still exists. You can still log into Myspace and use it. Same is true of Livejournal, ICQ (last I checked,) and many other bygone services.

              They’re not going anywhere either. But they’re still useless outside of edge cases.

              I want Firefox to succeed. But I’ve also been watching it lose relevance for the last 10 years. I’d prefer it not to go the way of MySpace because its users are too stubborn to admit that it has a problem.
