Major alternative? At 2.x% market share? You people are very delusional. By the way, the shitty market share is exclusively Mozilla's fault, even if they're always complaining about evil Google (while they take that sweet 500 M/years from that evil company and waste them on anything but fixing their shitty browser). Mozilla is ascummy/scammy company that should have died years ago. I'll celebrate their fall.
So because they take money from Google but don't effectively challenge the monopoly, they ought to be done away with? All Hail our Chromium overlords!
I agree that the exec salaries could use a heavy trimming to the benefit of their actual R&D, but right now, they're the biggest challenger to the dominance of Chromium. They could be better, sure, but I'd rather have mediocrity than no choice at all.
They aren't challenging anything, don't be delusional. But, hey, I can't stop you from believing their narrative, (and in fairy tales) if that can make you happy.
What would you prefer then? For Firefox to stop existing, so that we all finally have to use Chromium?
Of all the alternatives, it is the most major one.
(Except for Apple devices where Safari is an option).
