Microsoft Edge already surpasses Internet Explorer and while

With the arrival of Chromium-based Edge it can Explorer seems to be a thing of the past but nothing is further from the truth In fact it does Little did we see how Microsoft recommended making the leap to Internet Explorer 11 (or if possible to Edge) and abandoning Internet Explorer 10

The truth is that despite its failures, problems, shortcomings... Internet access cannot be conceived as we know it today without taking Internet Explorer into accountA browser with a huge market share, but with the passage of time and the arrival of more powerful competitors, it has increasingly diminished its prominence.An Internet Explorer that continues to lose users to the point of being surpassed by Edge.

IE has sold its defeat dearly

Internet Explorer refuses to disappear, above all because it is still necessary to operate with official entities and some companies. A fact that has led Edge to offer a compatibility mode with Internet Explorer. A dependency that has not even managed to stop the slow decline.

An example that we can see when checking, like five years after arriving, Edge surpasses Internet Explorer in the list of most used browsersand moves it from third to fourth place. Below is Safari, but its use is almost anecdotal. In the list we see how Edge, with a 7.02% market share, exceeds the 6.60% of Internet Explorer.

Far above are Chrome, unreachable, with 66.93% and closer to Firefox, with 8.12% market. And below, along with Safari and its 2.04%, Opera, with only 1.35% of the market.

The push of Windows 10

And together with the improvement of Edge, Windows 20, and we are already talking about operating systems, also improves, by gaining close to 4 percentage points and going from 53% to 57.08% of market share. A growth that follows the slight fall at the end of 2019 and that increases the distance with Windows 7 (another that has sold the throne dearly) which has fallen to a share of 25.56%.

Windows 7 down, almost certainly due to end of support and still well ahead of alternatives like macOS 10.15 with 3 , 39% or Windows 8.1 with a market share of 3.38%.
