Microsoft Edge has overtaken Safari, becoming the second most popular web browser in the world, on the PC platform

Meanwhile, Google Chrome continues to gradually strengthen its user base, to the detriment of the old rival Firefox, which since the beginning of the year continues to lose its remaining users.

In the Mobile segment, things look slightly different, with Google Chrome leading by 64.36% market share, followed by Apple Safari with 19.13% market share, amplified by the much higher proportion of devices that come with it pre-installed. Furthermore, the ranking continues to be irrelevant with Mozilla Firefox (3.41%) market share, Samsung Internet (2.84%) and Opera (2.07%). It should be noted that Microsoft Edge does not even “register”, falling into the category of eccentric alternatives.
