I have told them that this issue has pushed us to look more at other platforms. We are also on Firefox (much easier now that their extension platform is similar to Chrome’s), but we still have the vast majority of our users on Chrome (60k versus <1k).

I even submitted our extension to Opera. Months went by with no response. Dev forums show that this is a common experience.

We’re also on iOS, but since extensions don’t really exist on mobile, this isn’t a great substitute.

I’d welcome suggestions for another platform that we should be on!




You can start inviting users to install Firefox. If enough sites do it FF share will raise and Google will change their behavior.


This is a good point, and it actually fits with our ethos of minimal tracking, which I've been meaning to emphasize in our onboarding process.

Maybe a nudge toward Firefox can be part of that message.
