Re: Who, and how much?
I guess they're trying to hang on to users. Firefox Quantium seems to have made some monthly active users move somewhere else. There was a summer slump that never went back up. Odd that...
And this is the reason why to try and keep your users happy. In the past, firefox has attempted stuff like this only to have the users complain to the website administrators. Now that the users are more wise, they are switching browsers instead. This means administrators may not be getting notified that there is a problem and folks are switching instead. I am one of those people that switched.
It also means that firefox lost their power (their ability to say what I do on the internet by forcing changes) over me and my browser.
