I know I can spoof my useragent, it's just ridiculous that such a massive app doesn't support an equally massive browser.

On desktop (which is what the website in question is mostly loaded in) is 6,6%. Still isnt huge but definitely more significant.
Wow Firefox just barely beats out Samsung internet and opera???
I knew chrome had the majority but I didn't know even edge was above Firefox in market share.
There's like 30 people at the company I work for. 8 of them use Firefox only, about 10 of them use Firefox half of the time when chrome breaks or hogs every resource possible.
REMINDER: These market share figures are self reported based on browser user agents. For over a decade now, Firefox requires you to opt into this reporting. Its true that Firefox has been slipping in market share, and that things can be rather gloomy, but they're not as doomed as its widely reported. The big driver of declining market share for Firefox these days is CTOs telling their engineering directors to not check Firefox compatibility because they perceive it as wasted time for 6.6% of people. The easiest way to combat Google Chrome's hegemony is to show friends and family that actually most of the internet works on Firefox despite what you've been told, and that also Firefox isn't somehow outdated
But it's the fourth most popular browser according to your chart. Considering there's probably 2 billion browser users, that's something in the ballpark of 40 million users. 20 if you say 1 billion.
