      That seems like an error to me... There's no way it stayed at exactly the same percentage the whole time. Maybe the video creator accidentally forgot to update the percentage for mosaic after a certain point. Even if it had a dedicated user base that didn't wanna give it up, there's more and more people using the internet every day. In order for it to keep the same percentage (even if small) it would have to have a growing audience, which I somehow doubt is the case.

      Edge should even be higher than Chrome, I mean, it's quite a bit more secure than Chrome and runs many times faster, even does better with blocking trackers and ads than Firefox WITH an adblocker/ tracker block, and so much more!
