Article seems pretty flawed. Relevance is a vague metric, and the author relies pretty heavily on data related to government site visitation, which seems subject to bias toward certain types of users.

Market share is likely still incredibly low, but Firefox’s relevance should be spiking right now due to Google’s shenanigans with Chromium. The fact that like 90% of revenue for its for-profit wing is from Google is still troubling.

Any alternative views out there?

Yes exactly, that’s what I mean. Firefox is from the for-profit and you can’t donate to that. I think they did that because of the google deal but it also means they locked themselves out of a sustainable donation model.

The non-profit is just running some BS side-projects now.

firefox foundation is literally what you donate to when you donate to firefox.

No, it’s the Mozilla foundation: https://donate.mozilla.org/en-US/ . Not the firefox foundation.

They do a lot of stuff but Firefox is not part of that, that’s under the corporation: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/what-we-do/
