Despite Firefox’s declining marketshare on desktop the browser is in use health. It’s fast and feature enough to hold its own against its rivals

Huh?

Yeah that's badly written, but Firefox is actually gaining de desktop marketshare now!

(According to gs.statcounter.com)

The problem with stats like these are that Firefox users (and the browser's defaults) block a lot of the scripts and images used for tracking.

Cloudflare's stats show higher Firefox usage (4.737% for 2023 Q3), although that's still less than even Edge. My own logs show more still, although my visitors are more technical than usual.

Yeah, its gaining marketshare, I'm glad we agree.

(I use StatCounter mostly for trends, not hard numbers, because of the exact thing you just said)

"is in good health"? I was looking for autocorrect typos but can't figure out anything likely, unless they're not using querty.
