Just sayin': I've been getting a lot of these phishing scams lately:

Your PayPal account is temporarily limited
Dear Client,
We recently asked you to take action on your account and we don't seem to have received the required response.

Hi xxxxxxx283,
A user just logged into your Facebook account from a new device Samsung S21. We are sending you this email to verify it's really you.

Hi xxxxxxx283,
We got a request to reset your Instagram password.

And the really creative one is:

Microsoft account

The password for the Microsoft account [email protected] there was an attempt to change it.

Surprisingly, it's still #3 behind Chrome and Safari, and just barely ahead of Edge ( worldwide, Edge leads in the US). Still only has a 4.2% share of the market though. FF kicked butt back in the day when the only real alternative was IE, but has fallen sharply over the past few years. The only reason I even still have it installed is there are two sites I use regularly ( one of my utilities and one a State of Ohio site) that only work properly in it. https://www.oberlo.com/statistics/browser-market-share

Edge sucks soooo much too

Pretty much Chrome with different branding now. Since Microsoft rebuilt it using Chromium, there's really no difference.

Firefox, in an effort to be truly 100% open source with no lines of Andreessen and Bina’s legacy UIUC/NCSA code, or any Mozilla code, committed Seppuku in 2008. Leading the charge on Web security and being the first to drop support for client-side JavaScript, Flash, and ultimately plug-ins altogether had consequences. It had a good run for about five years though. From 2004-2009 it was the best. I was running the dev alphas before the rebrand from Phoenix back in 2002 after a network copy from a Windows 2000 Pro machine to a Windows Me PC trashed both computers and I switched to Linux on my desktops for several years until finally switching back when Vista Ultimate proved stable.
