Microsoft Edge Browser

Adduplex recently released its March 2022 report, which contains the most up-to-date statistics on the Windows market. In March 2022, the data revealed that Windows 11 acquired little to no users, while the most recent Windows versions increased their market share. According to a Statcounter analysis from March 2022, Microsoft Edge is steadily increasing and getting more users.

Microsoft Edge is currently the second most used desktop browser, according to Statcounter. Edge managed to overtake Apple's Safari and move into the second position with a 9.65 percent market share (+0.05) in March 2022. Safari is in third place with 9.56 percent (-0.21%), while Chrome is still in first place with 67.29 percent (+2.4 percent).

1. Google Chrome: 67.29%
2. Microsoft Edge: 9.65%
3. Apple Safari: 9.56%
4. Mozilla Firefox: 7.57%
5. Opera: 2.81%

In the worldwide market, which combines mobile and desktop platforms, things are different. Google Chrome is still the monarch, with a huge market share, and Safari takes a comfortable second place on mobile, much behind Microsoft Edge.

1. Google Chrome: 64.53% (+1.75)
2. Apple Safari: 18.84% (-0.46)
3. Microsoft Edge: 4.05% (-0.01)
4. Mozilla Firefox: 3.4% (-0.81)
5. Samsung Internet: 2.82% (+0.05)

Microsoft is a newcomer to the mobile browser business, and it will find it difficult to compete with Safari and Chrome. Furthermore, Microsoft has no authority to force customers to move to Edge on mobile, which is another reason why Android and iOS combined are destroying Microsoft's browser market share. Edge, on the other hand, is making good progress on desktop platforms. Furthermore, with Microsoft making changing the default browser in Windows 11 less of a pain, Edge should continue to gain popularity among users.
