Indeed, but Helium is the new kid on the block. What might surprise you more is how many people won’t have any idea what “a Firefox” is.

Calling it a “major” browser in the first place is pretty disingenuous by this article, when the popular usage metrics clearly show it to be a niche, if not obscure, choice of browser. Chrome has more than an order of magnitude more users than Firefox.

But things get truly silly when other niche/browsers are ignored in that same breath. Chrome has more than an order of magnitude larger userbase than Brave, too, but like with Firefox, it’s still less than two orders of magnitudes of difference. And while Firefox has a few times more users than Brave, there’s nowhere near an order of magnitude’s worth of difference either. Meaning, while they are not equivalent in size, they are certainly comparable.

If Firefox is a “major” browser, then Brave would have to at the very least be considered a “big” player, too. And we all know it ain’t a big player - not by a long shot.

Are you also tired of being told that you are the one person responsible for choosing to live in a location that necessitates driving a car, or do you reckon it might be good to be told that a bit more, then?

I’m asking first, because I wouldn’t want to tire you any more, just because the world hastily on its way to hell in a hand basket, what with climate change, and all the disastrous knock-on effects that follow from it.

I hope you have a pleasant commute.
