A recent report by analyst firm StatCounter provides an updated rating of the popularity of browsers for desktop systems, in which Microsoft Edge is ranked third, leaving Firefox behind. Over the past few months, Microsoft’s browser has grown significantly in its user base, which has allowed it to bypass the Mozilla product.
Google Chrome continues to lead by an impressive margin, with a 67.14% share of the desktop browser market. Safari took the second place with a share of 10.11%. It is followed by Microsoft Edge (8.03%) and Firefox (7.95%). According to StatCounter, Microsoft’s proprietary browser is steadily adding new users every month. By the way, a year ago it became the second most popular among users of the Windows operating system and holds this place to this day.
Using StatCounter data, you can track not only the growth dynamics of the Microsoft Edge user base, but also better understand this growth. For example, new Edge users are mostly former users of Firefox, Chrome and partly Internet Explorer, which is no longer supported. The most interesting thing is that the latter is still present on the market, its share is 1.7%.
Analysts suggest that Microsoft Edge may bypass Apple’s branded browser this year. Firefox still beats Edge when it comes to mobile and tablet, although its share is slowly declining.
