Is there any data to back this up? Last I checked Firefox was still the 3rd most used browser, by a wide margin.
How wide of a margin could it possibly be when their market share is in the single digits?
Edit: I looked it up. Their market share is 2.3%.

Just be aware this doesn't represent real users for various reasons.
Chrome is also often used for bots, and god knows that internet is more than half of that these days.
oh yea it is, im in a forum where people use bots through proxies, and anti-detect browsers to spam on reddit, OF accounts do this too to peddle thier businesses, and most of them uses chrome since its" more trusted by reddits filters"
I took it to mean that newer AI browsers were taking mind-share, if not market-share. I think you're right that they're minuscule in terms of actual user numbers, perhaps because there are many of them now.
