BROWSER WARS: MICROSOFT EDGE JUST STEAMED PAST A MAJOR RIVAL

As the browser wars (opens in new tab) rage on, Microsoft Edge (opens in new
tab) is one step closer to challenging Google Chrome (opens in new tab) as it
has finally surpassed another major rival.



According to data (opens in new tab) from the web analytics service StatCounter,
Microsoft’s browser (opens in new tab) is now used on 9.65 percent of all
desktops worldwide which still pales in comparison to Chrome’s 67.26 percent
market share.



Back in February of this year, Edge was closing in on Safari (opens in new tab)
but based on new data from March, Apple’s browser now has 9.57 percent of
desktop browser market share worldwide. Meanwhile, Mozilla Firefox (opens in new
tab) has slipped slightly from 9.18 percent to 7.57 percent.




Surprisingly, Internet Explorer is still being used on one percent (0.92%) of
desktops globally, most likely by users that haven’t upgraded to Windows 11 or
even Windows 10 yet. Microsoft is planning to retire its IE 11 app (opens in new
tab) on June 15 of this year though, so these users will have to make the switch
to Edge or even to an alternative browser like Opera (opens in new tab) which
has 2.83 percent of desktop browser market share worldwide.

MOBILE IS A DIFFERENT STORY ALTOGETHER

Although Edge is certainly making inroads on desktop, the same can’t be said for
Microsoft’s browser on Android and iOS.



According to StatCounter's mobile data (opens in new tab), Chrome is used on
63.26 percent of all smartphones which makes sense as there are currently over
3bn active Android devices in use and Google’s browser comes preinstalled on
Android smartphones (opens in new tab). Likewise, Safari, which comes
preinstalled on iPhones (opens in new tab), has 24.81 percent of the mobile
browser market share worldwide. Samsung’s browser, Samsung Internet (opens in
new tab), meanwhile is currently in third place at just under five percent
(4.99%).

Although Microsoft Edge doesn’t even appear in StatCounter’s mobile browser
market share data, its usage is growing on mobile. According to Edge’s Play
Store listing, the browser’s mobile app has been installed over 10m times and
has 4.5 stars based on 453k user reviews. Apple’s App Store doesn’t provide the
same detailed install data that the Play Store does but Edge for iOS is ranked
#18 in utilities and has a 4.6 rating based on more than 78k user reviews.

A recent report from Windows Central says that Microsoft is reportedly planning
to consolidate its Android efforts (opens in new tab) into a single division to
offer tighter integration between Google’s mobile operating system and Windows
11 (opens in new tab). While the move is likely more geared towards having
Android apps run better on Windows, the software giant’s renewed interest in
Android could see it double down on Edge’s mobile app for the platform.
