microsoft edge browser overtakes second popular

Looking at the trend changes over the past year, the share of the Edge browser has steadily increased from 8% to the current stage. Microsoft finally switched the browser to the Chromium enginewhich made the application more popular, faster, but above all compatible with most Chrome extensions.Statistics from Statcounter show that the Microsoft Edge browser’s market share crossed the 10% mark for the first time in April this year, reaching 10.07%. When launched, the original Microsoft Edge browser, built on its own EdgeHTML engine and released in 2015, was not popular due to various compatibility and performance issues.

The browsers that follow in fourth, fifth and sixth position are Firefox with 7.86%, Opera with 2.43% and Internet Explorer with 0.97% of the desktop browser share.
