Microsoft Edge improved a lot since using the Chromium engine. Well, for those who haven't found it yet, Edge, the default Windows browser, now uses Google's web technology; It is as if Chrome is rooted in Edge. So, many people give him a second chance. And of course, developed enough to produce a second opinion from the Microsoft web browser.
Because of this we can even install extensions built for Google Chrome to Edge, even if Google warns that it's not completely secure, it doesn't explain why.

In fact, and thanks to this new version of Microsoft Edge, The Winows browser officially surpassed Mozilla Firefox in terms of usage, ranking second, only after Google Chrome. This is the first time this has happened, since Microsoft introduced Edge and Windows 10 in 2015.
Microsoft Edge beat Mozilla Firefox for the number of users
Specifically, in March the NetMarketShare website – which produces statistics-based statistics from web users – said that Microsoft Edge had a market share of 7.6%, and Mozilla Firefox would only have 7.2%. Google Chrome, as usual, took the most cake, and continues to dominate over half of the market: 68.5% continue to use Google's web browser.
But the Microsoft Edge update isn't the only explanation for what happened: Mozilla Firefox has been losing users for a very long time. Last year, and in March, the free web browser accounted for 9.7 percent of the market, and when we return to March 2017 we will find that Firefox controlled 15.6% of the entire web market. Therefore, in three years it has lost more than half its users. Microsoft, on the other hand, which had a surplus of 3% in March 2017, has increased its number of users.
And the most curious thing would be Internet Explorer 11 continues to have a significant market share: 5.6% users continue to access the Internet through an old web browser – however, even Microsoft does not recommend the use of Internet Explorer yet, because it is not secure; In other words, if Firefox continues to decline, maybe Internet Explorer may have more users, even if it hasn't received updates for years.

And who's behind? While Safari, Aplpe's navigation engine has 3.6% – remains stable all year – Opera has dropped to 1.14%. As we can see, Internet use varies greatly, with Chrome taking over the entire product. In fact anything other than Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox is unheard of depending on the numbers.
Will we slowly return to the times when Microsoft dominated the web market? Will we see Microsoft Edge as the most used browser?
