Firefox has become good enough that it silently falls to the background and I don&#x27;t even notice it while on the web.<p>To me, that is damn good software.

Great to see, now let&#x27;s hope with quantum&#x27;s momentum it can increase the rate of growth, maybe as far as February 2012 standards (last time it was majority share)!

I&#x27;m a little wary of inferring anything from browser stats taken from a website which exclusively serves developers - I&#x27;d probably expect a higher proportion of firefox users in that demographic.<p>I&#x27;d love to see something like an industry standard for this kind of thing, one that might focus on producing statistics for more &quot;typical&quot; users (whatever that means). Could anyone enlighten me?<p>Very curious to see if this potential inflection point is reflected elsewhere, never sure whose survey is most credible.

It looks like all browsers&#x27; share increased? I&#x27;d chalk this up to the amount of whatever unnamed browsers take up the rest of the share decreasing.

I&#x27;m more surprised opera still has that much market share.

Firefox is genuinely a blessing to use now. I still haven&#x27;t gotten used to the developer tools after exclusively using Chrome&#x27;s for so many years, but I&#x27;m sure I&#x27;ll get the hang of it eventually.

Misleading title. The recent iterations of Firefox are superb, though.

How did everything grow in share?
