Pirat_Nation 🔴(@Pirat_Nation):The European Union has a new law called the Digital Markets Act that makes big tech companies show users a clear choice of web browsers on their phones. Since the law started in 2024 more than 6 million people have picked Firefox as their main browser through these choice screens which is about one new user every 10 seconds. People who choose Firefox this way really like it and keep using it five times more than people who find Firefox in other ways. A study from top researchers shows the same thing because in the EU Firefox users on iPhones jumped 113% because of the law while on Android phones the increase was 12% with the biggest change on Apple phones where Safari used to be the only easy choice.
