At their peak it was like 33% or thereabouts. The claim that they were "abandoned" suggests, well, that the browser was abandoned when it wasn't. It's a mischaracterization. Market share is about some combination of (1) software quality, (2) visibility and (3) distribution lock in. Chrome managed to be arguably better on (1) but it's due to (2) and (3) that it became dominant.
If (1) was all that mattered we would all be using the Preso engine version of Opera right now.
They literally abandoned the development for their toy projects until v57 (?) Quantum release. People left Firefox to chrome cos pages like google meetup and other things were not working at all. What are you saying?
