microsoft edge browser overtakes as most

Safari has been met with complaints from some users in recent years over the browser's bugs, user experience, and website compatibility. StatCounter suggests that Edge's mobile presence is comparatively diminutive even though it has been downloaded 10 million times on the Google Play Store. Despite Safari being the default browser on the iPhone and iPad, Chrome still dominates both iOS and Android with a market share of 62.06 percent. Matters are different on mobile platforms, where Safari has a more secure position in second place with a 26.71 percent market share. The data is similar in Asia, where Safari's 5.41 percent market share trails behind Edge's 7.46 percent. In Europe, Edge has already surpassed Safari, taking 10.9 percent of the market compared to Safari's 9.95 percent. While Edge appears to be set to overtake Safari on a global scale, in North America, Safari is in a stronger position, being used on 16.87 percent of desktops compared to Edge's 11.93 percent market share. Edge and Chrome are now both Chromium-based browsers, meaning that Chromium will likely come to dominate the top two desktop browsers. If the trend continues, Apple is likely to slip to third or fourth place in the near future. In January 2021, Safari held a 10.38 percent market share and appears to be gradually losing users to rival browsers over time. Mozilla Firefox takes fourth place with 9.18 percent.

Google Chrome continues to hold first place with an overwhelming 65.38 percent of the market. Microsoft Edge is on the verge of overtaking Safari as the world's second most popular desktop browser, web analytics service StatCounter reports (via TechRadar).Īccording to the data, Microsoft Edge is now used on 9.54 percent of desktops worldwide, a mere 0.3 percent behind Apple's Safari, which stands at 9.84 percent.
