According to NetMarketShare, Microsoft Edge only commands a market share of 5.65% – which is an increase of only 0.02 percentage points compared to last month. It is interesting to see that the browser was at 5.09% exactly one year ago, which means that it only grew by 0.56% year-over-year. On the other hand, Google Chrome has continued its dominance with a market share of 59.49%. As a point of reference, this is a sizeable growth of 10.84 percentage points year-over-year.
Meanwhile, Internet Explorer fell to 16.84%, while Mozilla Firefox and Apple’s Safari grew to 12.02% and 3.72% respectively. The “Other” section also showed a slight increase, and climbed to 2.29%.
Chrome is the king of all browsers according to these statistics as well, with a market share of 63.21% – a decrease of 0.14 percentage points compared to last month. Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari command 14%, 9.28%, and 5.16% respectively.
It is important to note that these statistics are compiled based on the data provided by StatCounter and NetMarketShare’s partner websites – which number 2.5 million and 20,000 websites worldwide respectively – so they may not entirely depict the real situation.
