Microsoft Edge browser market share has exceeded 10%
According to the latest statistics released by Net Marketshare, the market share of Microsoft Edge based on the Chromium browser has risen sharply.
The latest data shows that the share of the browser soared from 5.60% to 10.22%. The reason for the soaring is naturally the forced push installation strategy used by Microsoft.
Currently, Microsoft automatically pushes the browser to users through the system update function. In fact, users cannot interfere with this process at all without modifying the registry.
Therefore, the installed capacity of Microsoft’s new browser is rising rapidly, and it is not surprising that the market share is also increasing, and this situation should continue.
The data shows that the desktop market share of Google Chrome has dropped from 69.94% to 69.25%. A slight drop in Google Chrome should not be a big problem. The market share of Firefox browser rose slightly from 7.19% to 7.22%.
On the Microsoft side, the market share of Microsoft Edge rose from 5.6% to 10.2%. This is the first time that the market share of Microsoft Edge has exceeded 10% since its release.
The market share of Google Chrome has soared over the years and reached a staggering 70%. At the same time, Google Chrome has almost no rivals in the desktop browser market.
Because the old-fashioned IE browser has been abandoned by Microsoft, and the market share of Firefox browser has remained at around 7% all year round, it is difficult to compete head-on with Google.
This is also true because the browser market share is too high and Google is subject to antitrust lawsuits, but then Google may not need to worry about such issues.
Microsoft is eroding Google’s share through Windows 10 push, bundled installation, and even various advertisements, although the gap between Microsoft and Google is still a bit big.
However, Microsoft also reached 70% of the market share by bundling IE browser. As a result, Microsoft also caused antitrust lawsuits and was forced to abandon pre-installed IE.
It can be seen that the power of pre-installation through the operating system is still very scary. Google does not have this advantage on the desktop platform, so it is likely that Microsoft will eventually catch up.
