Summary

### Summary
Firefox once dominated the browser market, but its market share has dropped from 30% to under 3%, while Chrome’s has risen to almost 70%. Despite Firefox being open-source, non-profit, and having superior privacy features, it is struggling to compete with Google Chrome. The latter is used to collect data for Google’s advertising machine, while Microsoft Edge serves Microsoft’s interests. Firefox, on the other hand, is developed by the non-profit Mozilla Foundation with a focus on user protection rather than extracting value from them for shareholders.

Highlights

• Firefox was once a dominant browser but has seen its market share drop while Chrome continues to grow.
• Firefox is open-source and prioritizes user privacy, unlike Chrome or Edge.
• Chrome’s dominance is partly due to Google’s tactic of paying for browser market share.
• Firefox faces challenges without Google’s revenue but remains focused on privacy.

Key Takeaways

• Firefox was once a dominant browser, holding over 30% of the global browser market in 2009.
• Chrome and Edge prioritize their respective companies‘ interests and data collection, while Firefox focuses on user protection.
• Google Chrome’s dominance is partly due to Google paying other browsers to use its search engine as default.
