In the impression of many people, Google Chrome is one of the most used and most supported browsers, but just like those forgotten second places in history, Microsoft Edge has actually started to grow silently as early as 2021 and has now officially surpassed Apple Safari became the second largest browser after Google.
Microsoft Edge jumps to second place in browser rankings
According to the latest April statistics from Statcounter, the market share of browser overlord Google is almost maintained at around 66%, while Microsoft Edge has come to 10.07% to grab the second place.
- Google Chrome: 66.64%
- Microsoft Edge: 10.07%
- Safari: 9.61%
- Firefox 7.86%
- Opera 2.43%
However, the above data does not include mobile device users. If the data is calculated uniformly, Safari is ahead of Edge by nearly 15%.
- Google Chrome 64.36 %
- Safari 19.13%
- Microsoft Edge 4.07%
- Firefox 3.41%
- Samsung Internet 2.84%
The reason why the proportions of Safari and Edge on the PC side and mobile devices are so different, a big factor may come from the fact that Windows has about 74% to 75% of the PC market, and macOS has only 16.05% of the PC market. , and the data on mobile devices can be estimated that some users of Chrome and Firefox on PC switched to Safari after switching to mobile devices.
