Edge is already the third most used browser on computers

Microsoft's good work with the new Chromium-based Edge can be seen from the good reviews received from users, who now find themselves with a real alternative to Firefox and Chrome. But where doubts are not generated is when analyzing the numbers that it boasts.

And that is what a report prepared by the company StatCounter lets us see that places Microsoft Edge as the second most popular web browser after Chrome within the Windows ecosystem , which means you've already left Firefox behind, a tremendously established browser.

Overtaking Firefox

For some time now, Microsoft Edge has grown faster than Firefox and while that doesn't beat Chrome, it has made it easier for it to assault the second drawer of the podium of browsers used in the Microsoft ecosystem.

In this way we find Chrome, which continues to rule with an iron hand, sporting a 67.09% market share, followed by Safari, but yes, limited to computers with macOS with a 10, 13% market share % and both seconded by Edge, which achieves 8, 04% market share.

Here it occupies the third place, but if we remove the fact that Safari is exclusive to macOS, Edge is left with a creditable second place.Behind, but very close, it must be said, we find Firefox, with 7.97% of the market and the very far away Opera with 2.91% and Internet Explorer with 1.71%.

For these figures the study focuses only on the desktop versions of the different browsers. In the case of counting the adoption figures on the different platforms, Edge remains in fourth place, very close, yes, to the third occupied by Firefox.

In this case we find a ranking again led by Chrome with 64.15%, followed by Safari with 19.05%, Firefox with 3.69% and Edge, with a market share of 3.45% Meritorious if we take into account that Chrome comes pre-installed on Android phones and that Safari is the browser for iOS and iPadOS ( although it can be use another).

In addition the inclusion of two new players is striking such as Samsung Internet with a market share of 3.27% which comes to demonstrate the huge number of Samsung and Opera terminals, with 2.14%

Figures that speak of the good work of Microsoft regarding its browser, so much so that in the short time it has existed on the market, it already rivals a much more established browser such as Firefox.
