Cloudflare says 4.7%. I trust them more with these statistics because

  • they serve a significant chunk of the internet
  • they collect data serverside and I'm pretty sure more people block tracking scripts than change their user agent

But yes, it's way too small

Eh, I'm ok with it being small. You get targeted by fewer exploits if you're using a browser that isn't high in market share. There's also less incentive to try to monetize their market share than when it's very popular.

Just crazy to me that Firefox is that low I really hope they can rebound. Chrome's strangehold on browser engines is bad for everyone.
