Finally! No more "You know, you should really get Firefox, it's super easy. First you need to go to this other website though. Yes, I know, I know. Just trust me, okay?"

Chrome = Google.com

Edge = Microsoft.com

Safari = Apple.com

Seems like Firefox is now the outlier, not the other way around.

Now Firefox is the only browser with a home page domain the same as its common name.

(Note: I’m not saying that I think it’s a bad thing.)

That may be, but mozilla.org isn't exactly a brand like google.com. Most people have never heard of it.

If you're trying to get non-technical people to try an underdog browser, simplicity helps. A single, straightforward brand name is better.

chrome.com redirects to www.google.com/chrome/

No one has to download Edge or Safari.

Opera had opera.com back when they were an actual browser (they still have it now, too). Vivaldi has vivaldi.com and Brave has brave.com.

chrome.com redirects to https://www.google.com/chrome/ for whatever it's worth.

hahaha, indeed. but i always can't remember mozilla (i don't even know i spelled it right), the other is really to remember, and automatically you know google has a chrome browser, etc.

I mean, doesn't everybody just google the thing they want and click the first result? I don't think I've heard of people just guessing "<some brand name>.com" since back in the days before the browser address bar doubled as a search bar.

I do, but I also disabled the URL bar doubling as a search bar. When I want to find the official site, I'm using apt show though.
