With its market share hitting a new low, can Firefox rise from the ashes or is this the end?

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?

uBlock, Clean URLs, and “I still don’t care about cookies”

Are the must haves for me.

Is the last one still useful if you enable the cookies filter under annoyances in uBlock?

I didn’t know about that actually. I’ll try it out and remove cookies extension. Thanks!

Edit: Working well so far!

Yeah, I’ve got a bunch of the annoyances filters active and don’t know if I could browse most websites without them at this point.
