Firefox spokesperson Christopher Hilton tells The Verge that the browser has seen a more than 50 percent jump in users in Germany and a nearly 30 percent increase in France.

Brave saw a similar increase in users after Apple started letting users choose their default browsers on iOS 17.4 in the EU last week.

Yes, and I’ll add that 30% is nothing is still nothing. Firefox and brave share on iOS are very small. This is great for customer choice but until there is real chromium and blink browser available there won’t be any real intensive to switch. Firefox already said they are not that interested, now it’s up to Google and then we can maybe have brave and other chromium clone.
