Posting this on Lemmy is preaching to the choir.

have any instance admins ever shared the browser stats?

14% ain't bad i suppose. and some FF users may be masking, and your sample size of 12 may not be very representative

If it is 12%, that's still much higher than the internet as a whole which is only 2-3%

Yeah it's a very small instance, I'm the only one really using it right now ^^'

Hi. I'm on lemmy. I haven't switched. Why? Because there an insane amount of incorporation into Google. Email, my phone communicating to pc, passwords, auto fill, saved cookies, credit cards.

I want to switch. I want to get off chrome from what I've been reading regarding it's practices. But I'm so engraved and the undertaking of switching is not something I've committed to yet. Or might never. I already have a Google Home in my kitchen. I feel like privacy isn't something I have a privilege of anymore.

They've got me.

Firefox makes it easy to import all that stuff

Huh. Wow. And it has mobile to pc incorporation?

Honestly for me it has much better synching. It took a little work to move everything over, but far less than I anticipated.

My Firefox experience is seamless between my work station, laptop and Android phone. Syncing happens immediately when I open my session on either of them. I don't use the Google ecosystem much though (I mean Google pay, etc) so transitioning may be harder than I imagine from where I sit
