And yet Firefox marketshare will keep dwindling. Drives me mad!
- it's crazy how many people just use whatever is most popular and never question it. the number of people who don't use even a basic adblocker is mind-blowing.
- People usually don't respond well with threats they don't perceive as harmful, or can't perceive physically at all. Targeted ads and privacy in general is abstract to many people, and the only time they'll start responding is if their emails or social medias get hacked due to their infos being sold on the dark web or something like that.

  How could they improve?
  
  crypto! /s
  
  ~~Targeted ads~~. Promotional campains to make people more aware of Firefox/why it's better. Be more present online (instead of passively depending on the userbase). Take inputs from the community and actually doing something with them rather than saying "k" and then doing nothing. Those are just some off the top of my head.
  
  Edit: as pointed out by a kind user, targeted ads was a poor choice of words. I explained myself better below in the comments
  
  Targeted ads.
  
  I agree with everything you said except for the targeted ads part. It would be wildly hypocritical of them to do this.
  
  Very fair point. My bad, I expressed myself poorly. What I meant with 'targeted ads' was to show ads not on the browser itself but to people who might be more easily convinced to use Firefox. For example, there's a huge amount of viewers on YouTube that are tech-oriented. Nobody is stopping Firefox from sponsoring creators, videos or even collaborating with them.
  
  Seems like a waste of money.
  
  If people want to use garbage, let them. It's not like telling them firefox is better is going to change anything.
  
  Part of Mozilla's funding comes from Google. I adore their browser and other software however the corporate itself has a questionable history as it is with many corporates usually anyway.
- It's slower and clunkier. I use Firefox for privacy and addons, but if I didn't have to I'd probably use Chrome.
  
  Explain how , like with examples. I use both every day plus like 4 other browsers and there is no difference a normal user could possible see between the two. All browser have slightly different layouts and features but all at this point have surface functionality that's essentially the same What the hell are you seeing in Firefox that is "slow and clunky"
  
  Pages load more slowly, scrolling isn't smooth, etc. The user experience just feels worse. I have to use Edge and Chrome for work and they feel so much snappier and more enjoyable to use.
  
  I don't know anymore, feels like that's a user-by-user basis. I just moved from Edge to Firefox and it feels exactly as smooth. Perhaps the only time it doesn't feel as smooth is when I play mahjong on the browser, but other than that, it's the same exact experience lol.
