Currently a university student, and somewhat frequently, I see Firefox installed on people’s laptops but they also have Chrome installed and are using Chrome, or Edge, or Safari. Rarely do I see Firefox actually being used but I see it installed frequently. Does anyone have a clue as to why they have it installed?

Yea I know Chromium monopoly and open source browser and whatnot but the average Andy does not know what any of that is.

    They only know Edge because MS shills it hard and Chrome due to years of using it with OEM installs on Android, familiarity with Google services.

    Since ads can be really terrible on mobile, then FF + uBO can be suggested to them.
