For a long time, in the browser market on the PC side, Google’s Chrome browser has an absolute advantage and cannot be shaken, but Apple’s Safari, which ranks second, is facing the crisis of being overtaken.
According to data from a recent report by StatCounter, a web analytics agency, Microsoft Edge’s market share is about to surpass Safari and take the second place in the world.
From the data point of view, Edge is currently used on 9.54% of the world‘s PCs, only 0.3% behind Safari’s 9.84%. At the same time, unlike the Edge browser’s data rise in recent months, Safari’s data has experienced a significant decline. .
Global data
According to this trend, in the following months, Safari’s market share will gradually fall to the third place, surpassed by Edge.
In fact, if you only look at the regional breakdown data, Edge has successfully surpassed Safari in Asia and Europe to sit in the second position.
In Asia, Edge’s current market share is 7.46%, which is 2.05% higher than Safari’s 5.41%; in Europe, Edge’s 10.9% share over Safari’s 9.95%, the advantage is also obvious.
Asian data
The Edge browser can achieve the current achievements, in addition to its own gradual optimization of functions in the update, the decline in the reputation of Safari itself is also one of the reasons.
In recent years, Safari has been criticized in terms of bugs, user experience and website compatibility. It was even accused of being the “new IE” by users not long ago, which shows that its evaluation among users is poor.
