Browser Switching Reluctance

Not everyone wants to change browsers.

they will complain for two weeks, and then get used to it. 90% of all users just use a browser. it's not hard to switch.

Some people don't like the user experience of doing everything in the default browser. It's subjective.

Many people do not want that. We know how to use a browser.

Yes, imagine all those people using Firefox instead of Chrome ;-)

Potential users are not users, and firefox can't be that browser. Actually that browser is brave, and it also doesn't have hundred of millions of users. You can't fight defaults browsers, people don't care.

Everyone in this comment section seems to forget that we are an extremely small minority of the entire population of people who use web browsers. A vast majority of people don't think about their web browser and simply use whatever they're used to, which for most is Chrome or Safari. They have much better brand recognition and unless Chrome gives them an unusable experience, they won't have any reason to consider changing browsers.

Our ideals do not simply change the fact that chrome and its derivatives are the most used browser by a big margin at this moment. And, looking at how this came to be and how things were with IE before it, they are going to stay a bit longer still. Stop being in denial about the way most people function: they don't care, they will eat the most convenient slop they are being served and not question it much. Because it doesn't matter as long as it allows you to browse your socials.

Chrome is not anyone's default browser, but it still has dominance. People will be bothered a little under some circumstances.

Why would developers care about a browser that their users don't use?
