On February 23, the network analysis agency StatCounter reported that the desktop browser with the largest number of users in the world is Google Chrome, with a market share of 65.38%, Safari is second, with a market share of 9.84%, Edge browser is third, with a market share of 9.54%, and Firefox is fourth, with a market share of 9.18%.
It should be noted that Edge's market share is only a little bit closer to Apple's Safari, and it has the potential to surpass Safari and become the second largest browser in the world. But think about it, although the Windows platform also has a Safari browser, in addition to Mac users, how many people will use Safari?
The rise of Edge is not easy, after all, Microsoft's Internet Explorer has left a deep impression on us, resulting in Xiaolei every time he reinstalls the system, the use of IE Browser is only to download a new browser. Now Edge is indeed much faster than IE, and the stability is also higher, no wonder there are more and more users.
However, what Xiao Lei wants to say is that Edge is still not suitable for the use habits of some domestic users. In fact, when you often visit the extranet, Xiao Lei can feel that foreign websites you click into a link on the web page, basically the original web page jump, the domestic website is mostly a new tab, convenient for us to continue to operate on the original web page.
Edge continues the habits of foreign users, and it takes to click the mouse scroll wheel to open the URL in a new tab. Domestic 360, QQ browser, etc., have adapted to the use habits of Chinese, which is obviously more comfortable to use.
It is worth mentioning that Edge also has a mobile browser, similar to the quark browser in the early stage of the line, very simple and easy to use, there is no advertising, push, and other messy functions, and you can choose the domestic search engine, which is obviously easier to use than those domestic browsers with bloated functions. If a third-party phone browser is needed, Edge can indeed be considered.
Although we often complain about Microsoft engineers, Windows is all BUG, the browser is not easy to use, but in recent years, Microsoft's progress is real, Windows 11 has been online so far, bugs are indeed less than Windows 10 in the early days. Xiao Lei hopes that Microsoft can localize and adapt Edge according to the usage habits of Chinese to further increase market share.
