The fall of Firefox: Mozilla's once-popular web browser slides into irrelevance
zdnet.com

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?

Ironic that ZD-Net is speaking of relevancy. Ha

Yeah, they are so 2010. I sometimes end up there when trying to dig up some obscure driver for outdated tech, but that's really it.

I remember watching zdtv as a kid in jr high? Lol these days, after seeing that article, i think i muttered "they're still around?"
