Mostly that FF has ~36k extensions (January 2024) [1] and Chrome has ~112k (June 2024) [2].
[No doubt, total count of extensions isn't the most important number and there's a long tail in both counts of very small user bases, but this paints the ~3x picture in a broad stroke.]
Of course, since FF migrated to WebExtensions in 2017, theoretically most Chrome extensions can be ported to FF with minimal changes [3] — practically speaking though, not all of the big ones actually have, or the FF equivalents to some of the most useful Chrome extensions are far less polished.
And also, if you're developing front end web apps for normal end users, most are still on Chrome... over the years, I've experienced an unfortunate number of sites that should work across Chrome/FF/Safari actually break because of things like the developers not even testing in browsers besides Chrome given its dominance. I'm not encouraging that by any means, but the reality is that it still happens.
At the bottom of the article, they allude to a future "AI App Store":
> Eventually, Apple aims to make money from AI by striking revenue-sharing agreements whereby it gets a cut from AI partners that monetize results in chatbots on Apple platforms, according to the people. The company believes that AI could chip away at the billions of dollars it gets from its Google search deal because users will favor chatbots and other tools over search engines. Apple will need to craft new arrangements that make up for the shortfall.
Per Apple's site [1], it's just the language setting:
"* Apple Intelligence will be available in beta on iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and iPad and Mac with M1 and later, with Siri and device language set to U.S. English, as part of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia this fall."
It would be cool if someone made a similar minimal open source desktop UI that could run on the data export from Google Takeout [or whatever the future export mechanism turns out to be].
