Microsoft edge surpasses internet explorer in market share

Microsoft Edge is the definitive browser for Microsoft, which has been making improvements to it. Although for many years Internet Explorer has been the browser of the firm. In fact, it has not been until now when it has been superseded in market share. So it has taken a long time, but it is an important moment.

Microsoft Edge outperforms Internet Explorer in market share

This confirms the expected trend. Internet Explorer will be losing more and more users to the detriment of the new browser, which is gaining presence in the market.

Moment of importance

Microsoft Edge thus becomes the third browser on the market, leaving Internet Explorer as the fourth. Although the difference is still small, it will surely increase over the months. For now Edge remains with a 7.02% market share, thus exceeding 6.60% of Internet Explorer today.

Google Chrome remains unmovable in first position, with a market share that exceeds 66%. So their rivals do not have much chance of taking this position away from them. Firefox is the second on the market, in its case with 8.12%.

This short distance with Firefox opens the door for Microsoft Edge to become second at some point. It is a difference of just 1%, which is achievable. Although it will depend on the improvements that come to the browser and if they manage to present it as a real competitor to Chrome and Firefox. It will be interesting to see how this market changes.
