Firefox hit a peak of 32% and has fallen ever since. Effectively Firefox crashed at the same time IE did, and I can’t see in what way Mozilla ever attempted to recover.
Classic "is this a feature or a product?" problem. You're going to have a bad time if you spend all your effort on a feature and nothing to set it apart.
I think it also points to the problem of implicit assumptions. Fish is meat, right? Except for historical reasons, the grocery store's marketing says "Fish & Meat."
And then there's nut meats. Coconut meat. All the kinds of meat from before meat meant the stuff in animals. The meat of the problem. Meat and potatoes issues.
If you asked that question before I'd picked up those implicit assumptions, or if I never did, I would have to guess.
I’ve got many catholic relatives that describe themselves as vegetarians and eat fish. Language can be surprisingly imprecise and dependent upon tons of assumptions.

Those are pescatarians.
It's like how a tomato is a fruit, but it's used as a vegetable, meat has traditionally been the flesh of warm-blooded animals. Fish is the flesh of cold-blooded animals, making it meat but due to religious reasons it’s not considered meat.
Modern LLMs do a great job of following instructions, especially when it comes to conflict between instructions from the prompter and attempts to hijack it in retrieval. Claude's models will even call out prompt injection attempts.
Right up until it bumps into the context window and compacts. Then it's up to how well the interface manages carrying important context through compaction.
My threat model here focuses on what the provider gets out of the free tier. Cloudflare gets a broad view into activity on the internet for building the models they use for their paid offerings. Free Gmail puts people on a path in to Google's ecosystem with basically zero marginal cost.
Have a contract that encodes "fuck you, pay me" into the terms. Ideally, have an actual lawyer take care of the contract and the enforcement. There's a lot of law-y stuff out there that won't hold up in reality. Mortgage companies don't take payment in excuses from your clients, so neither should you.
