In less than a year, its market share has doubled
NetMarketShare has published a new report on the global browser market. Perhaps the most important and interesting thing about it is the increase in the share of the proprietary Microsoft Edge browser. In October, it was 10.22%, while in September it was noticeably less – 8.84%, and at the end of last year – even 5.6%. In general, Microsoft’s efforts to plant Edge in different ways (both through a separate update and through ads in the Start menu) are not in vain. However, one cannot exclude the fact that users really liked the browser, in the end it has the same base as Chrome.
Microsoft’s efforts were not in vain. Edge browser is gaining popularity rapidly
Chrome is still the most popular browser in the world even though its share declined slightly in October – from 69.94% to 69.25%. Safari lost a little more: in September its share was equal to 3.57%, and in October it was already 3.4%. Interestingly, Internet Explorer gained a lot over the month: its share increased by 1.69%.
Chrome also dominates mobile, with 68.23% of that segment. In second place with a share of 17.31% – Safari, in third – Samsung browser (7.01%).
