Article seems pretty flawed. Relevance is a vague metric, and the author relies pretty heavily on data related to government site visitation, which seems subject to bias toward certain types of users.

Market share is likely still incredibly low, but Firefox's relevance should be spiking right now due to Google's shenanigans with Chromium. The fact that like 90% of revenue for its for-profit wing is from Google is still troubling.

Any alternative views out there?

The day Firefox gets native mouse gestures is the day I swap. Until then will continue to be a very happy Vivaldi user.

The plug-in gesturify on Firefox does what Vivaldi does but better on honestly. I Really like Vivaldi as my back up browser but it's nice but being stuck using chromium on Firefox.

Nope. Doesn't allow gestures on internal pages. Eg new tabs, menu, settings, etc... It doesn't work in the entire browser

That's Firefox's fault not the plugins. They don't allow any plugin to run in internal pages.

Yup, I know. So until Firefox has native lvl gestures, I won't switch :)
