Switched from firefox few months ago, I don't like google, but firefox has only few percent of market share currenly, many pages simply do not work properly with it, plus it has bugs on macos (like onmousover stuff), which simply make it unusable. Safari is fine, but also many websites (which sometimes you need to use like banking or gov) are not tested on it. The overall browsers situation is less than ideal.

That is weird, I've daily driven firefox for the better part of a decade (aside from when my employers have required chrome) and seldom encounter issues. I'm curious where you're hitting these. In fact, since ublock origin got removed from Chrome, the experience is far better on firefox.

Also, if everyone chooses to not use firefox because it has low market share, it'll remain low market share forever.

> ...many pages simply do not work properly with it,...

Using Google's websites much, are we? FF works great everywhere except there. I think the official term for the bugs on these pages is "oops"...

I use FF everywhere except on G pages, where I use Brave.

I use firefox on mac and I have simply no clue what you're talking about. Tons of people use firefox on mac quite successfully...

The only page that I know of that doesn't work is google earth - it doesn't work on linux either. (Technically it does, just incredibly laggy compared to chrome)

I can't think of a single macos specific bug. Or a single mouse over related bug.

I think it's a stretch to call firefox on mac "unusable". Like once a month I'll have something not work, and half the time it also doesn't work in chromium (both are the developer's fault). And when it does work in chromium, browsers are free so just switch over there and switch back. And to top it off, there are endless free flavors of chromium like brave etc, that virtually never have compatibility issues without needing to go full google.

I’ve been a daily Firefox user on macOS and windows for a decade. I can count on one hand the number of sites that don’t work.

What sites do you have in mind?

I have been using Firefox for years (decades) and I rarely encounter a page or site that doesn't work... a handful perhaps, but it's a complete non-issue for me. If anything, my ad-blocker can sometimes cause issues and I'll disable that and everything is good again.

Technically speaking, Safari is the second most used browser. It’s quite surprising how often I get these “unsupported browser” popups. I still use it as my primary and have FF as a backup. No Chrome needed.

Don't be so dramatic. Firefox on macOS is perfectly usable.

daily drive Zen on macos with zero issues and quality adblocking support.

Really? I use Firefox as my personal browser and everything works fine, including Google sites. Very rarely there’s a government site that needs Chrome, but I definitely wouldn’t say it’s “many” sites.
