      Most people don’t really care about what browser they’re using. They either use the one they’ve always been using (Chrome/Edge/Safari) or they just use the default (Edge/Safari/Chrome), or maybe whatever browser begs the hardest (Edge/Chrome).

      Some people fall for ads and install Opera because it’s “gamer”, that seems to be the biggest non-megabrand browser.

        Even though they’ve been into some predatory micro loaning schemes in the last last years (opera)

      Eco system, email, google account, all bookmarks saved between devices. Where as Firefox you’ll need to actively make an account. Chrome also come pre installed on some systems, ive also seen that many installers for random software will offer to install chrome.

      Its all subtle manipulation that leads to people using chrome because everyone uses chrome.

      Personally I use Firefox based browsers. I font want to support google.
