Firefox will not going to win with a focus on privacy. Period.

It's like a privacy friendly social network can't beat Facebook.

Unless Google does something extremely stupid people are going to stick to it.

People use Gmail, YouTube, Docs,Google search, Android and all of them are in sync with chrome. It goes hand in hand with your life.

Same is for Apple, they make iPhone they have mail they have macos. Everything sync with safari. Makes life easy.

What does Firefox offer? Only a browser. And privacy is not going make people switch to them.

In what way are those sites in sync with Chrome? There's sync of tabs and such across devices, but Firefox has that too.

Really ? There are dozens of ad-blockers both free and paid. If people were't bothered about privacy and bandwidth, these apps wouldn't exist at all.

Like removing APIs used for Ad blocking effectively crippling Ad blockers?

Firefox can send tabs between your devices, not sure if it can sync them in their entirety. Not sure i'd want it to though.
