If we talk about the browser market, we have to talk about Google Chrome. This browser has the absolute leadership in the computing market with a usage share of 65.38%, while the others are between 3 and 10%. The battle is more than won, even with the very slight downward trend detected by StatCounter in recent months.
The second browser in this race was Safari for a few months, thanks to the growing popularity of Macs, but the trend indicates that Edge will get ahead and take this second position at the earliest.
Edge convinces many Windows 10 and 11 users
At the end of January, and according to StatCounter, there are three browsers with a very similar share: Safari with 9.84% of users, Edge with 9.54% and Firefox with 9.18%. Safari remains stable, but Edge and Firefox have started to climb slowly. If this keeps up, Safari may be third or even fourth in the middle of the year.
Apple is aware of this, with Jen Simmons herself (one of Safari’s maintainers) asking about top user complaints and Twitter. macOS allows us to install all the alternative browsers we want, but of course Apple’s interest is that we use Safari rather than other browsers. His weapon to convince us: privacy.
