Even with the market power of the Windows operating system, Microsoft can push its new Edge browser to a market share of over 11%, taking second place among desktop browsers. Internet Explorer, on the other hand, just doesn’t want to die.

Chrome is simply unbeatable on the desktop, but Edge is catching up

StatCounter statisticians have again analyzed and processed the current browser market share on different platforms. As a result, Microsoft can be happy that the Edge browser continues its steady ascent. Last month, Redmond’s browser software managed to achieve a market share of 10.84% ​​on desktop computers, up 0.2% from the previous month.

This puts Edge firmly in second place in the list of most popular browsers, which is still dominated by Google Chrome with a market share of 66.14%. However, Google’s browser suffered a significant decline of around 0.7% in July, while all other market players saw gains. Mozilla Firefox had the strongest growth last month, with a plus of 0.28 taking its market share to 8.08%. Internet Explorer bravely defends itself against insignificance by retaining 0.75%. Market shares of desktop browsers in July 2022:

• Google Chrome – 66.14% (-0.74)
• Microsoft Edge – 10.86% (+0.2)
• Apple Safari – 8.97% (+0.01)
• Mozilla Firefox – 8.07% (+0.28)
• Opera – 3.07% (+0.08)

Everything is different on mobile

In the mobile market, Google and Apple can still dominate the market with Android and iOS. Chrome comes in at just over 65%, Safari hits just over 24%. Samsung may place its browser solution in third place with the number of devices, but with a market share of just under 5%. Other providers don’t even come close to the 2% threshold.
