I think Windows monopoly played a big part in IE dominance and Google search monopoly plays a big part in Chrome’s

Google's ability to promote Chrome on its search page

I am not sure the average Chrome user is feeling performance issues to the point where they’d want to switch away.

It would be curious to see a campaign where Firefox offers a version with all telemetry and pocket and Google search removed and creates an Apple style “Data Linked to You” Privacy visualisation comparing Firefox and Chrome. The Apple trend seems to be gaining steam.

Problem is Mozilla gets most of their money from using Google as default search engine, so they can't just remove that

It won't take long until Firefox will have such a low market share that another open source browser project can take over their share of users. I am ready to switch to a better project which is not dependent on Google, that needs less funding and uses that money better.

Edit: This is me trying to see the good in the fact that Firefox market share is dying.

why you said: "It won’t take long until Firefox will have such a low market share that another open source browser project can take over their share of users."

"This is me trying to see the good in the fact that Firefox market share is dying"

because Firefox market share is still declining and that sucks. But they don't seem to be able to turn it around, so maybe another project will.
