Edge growing in popularity, Chrome losing support

Microsoft's Edge web browser offers a range of useful features that ensure a good user experience – among other things, they enable the import of settings, passwords, bookmarks, the most visited pages and synchronization with your active Chrome browser account, as well as several other advanced options. Microsoft recently added Copilot AI, which has caused some users to migrate, at least temporarily.

According to research conducted by the analytics company Statcounter, Edge is currently used by almost 13 percent of desktop computer users. This is enough for the second place among browsers, from which it was displaced by the web browser Safari, which currently has 8.83-% market share (it lost 0.13 percentage pointsk). Some insiders are optimistic that Edge will only continue to gain in popularity

In the first place among web browsers, Google Chrome is unpresentably used by 67.29 % users. This is 0.39 percentage points less than a month ago. Second and third, as already mentioned, are Microsoft Edge (12.96 %) and Apple Safari (8.84 %). Mozilla Firefox and Opera are in fourth and fifth place with a market share of 7.57-% and 3.23-% respectively.

It is also worth noting that the Microsoft Edge browser is becoming more and more popular among users of Android and iOS mobile devices. Credit for this goes to the expected Microsoft artificial intelligence Copilot, which improves the experience of browsing the web. Supported by GPT-4, Copilot enables you to ask questions, create comprehensive summaries and images with the advanced DALL-E 3 tool. Microsoft Edge also prioritizes privacy – with smart security tools like Track Prevention, Microsoft Defender Smartscreen, AdBlock, InPrivate Browsing and InPrivate Search.
