What if we got to easily choose our web browser, and didn’t have to rely on complex operating system settings to change the pre-installed default?

98%? Sounds like bad polling to me

@Zoboomafoo @Vincent given it’s from Mozilla I’d say there’s a very good chance the audience they had access to for the poll skewed significantly towards the Firefox-users demographic 🤔

From the full report:

For the experiment, two panel providers helped us recruit 12,000 survey participants across Spain, Germany, and Poland.

So given that they used third-party providers, I don't think they would have been biased to Firefox users specifically. (And in fact, given the current state of the market, the majority probably wasn't a Firefox user.)
