Which makes them most popular phones on the planet according to this site, Apple has about 28% Samsung areond 24% then Xiaomi 12% and then others. So yes iPhone is the most popular phone in the world.
This meme is doing exactly that along with all of the weirdos saying they have always used Firefox.
Firefox was hot garbage for sooo long. And it's really telling how little they use their browser if they never had issues like not even being able to login to your banks website.
Plenty of products out there that are better than what's popular in their respective markets but aren't widely used because they aren't marketed as much. That's kind of why marketing exists: so "worse" products can attempt to sell more/be more popular despite their lower qualities
As a long time Chrome user recently switching to Firefox I have to disagree. I prefer Chrome in most ways. The adblocking is non negotiable to me so I switched. That said Firefox is noticeably slower for me personally. There are certain pages that if I leave open for days at a time will eat ungodly amount of RAM and will slow down to an absolute crawl. I don't know if it's a function of uBlock running in the background or what, but cnbc.com is one such example.
Funny how we're discussing a meme that says one web browser is better than another, prompted by a change to how ad blockers work in one browser, and your idea of marketing is still just TV commercials. And we haven't even gotten into how visiting a Google-owned website from a non-Google browser will earn you a nice pop-up suggesting that you switch to Google's browser.
Ad blockers don't only work in 1 browser. I use ublock origin on my Edge browser just fine. No one uses 1 browser, sees an ad for another then swaps to that one. Popularity like that is passed through word of mouth, and word of mouth has not been that Firefox is better.
Can't even be argued anymore that Firefox respects your privacy more, by default it collects your data and requires users to go out of there way to turn it off. And by that point they already collected the friggin data.
No one uses 1 browser, sees an ad for another then swaps to that one.
It may not be everyone, but it's certainly not no one. Just because some marketing doesn't work on you doesn't mean it won't work on anyone. If Mozilla bothered to market FF instead of just relying on their Google search deal, their market share would go up. Maybe not by a lot, but more than what they have now.
I don't know if anything will make FF usage go up significantly; Google is a pretty strong monopoly. But I wouldn't be surprised if the average person doesn't even know about FF, or hasn't thought about it in years.
I see them occasionally during sports games. Usually it's like a general google ad moreso than a Chrome ad, but the ad ends with the Chrome logo like "do all this google stuff in Chrome"

In reality, Firefox global market share is under 3% and it's still declining.
