Statcounter: Microsoft Edge’s market share approaches 13%

Published on

Statcounter released its latest data collected in April 2024. According to the report, Microsoft Edge is slowly gaining more users, but its market share is still light years behind Google Chrome, which also increased its market share last month.

Google Chrome, the most popular browser in the world, currently has a market share of 65.94%. In April 2024, it increased by 0.17 points. Google doesn’t want to give away its users, so it recently made sure that those who plan to buy next-gen Windows 11 AI PCs with ARM processors can continue to use Chrome without interruption. As such, Chrome now has a native ARM64 version on Windows.

Moving to Edge, Microsoft’s browser now stands at 12.82%, a modest increase of 0.12 points from the previous month. However, this is not its highest value – in January 2024, Statcounter reported Edge’s highest market share of 12.96% in the desktop market.

Safari closes the list of top 3 desktop browsers with 8.44%. Although Apple’s browser lost 0.19 points during April 2024, it is still quite far from Firefox, which has a market share of 6.67%. The latter rose by 0.06 points.

  1. Google Chrome – 65.94% (+0.17 points)
  2. Microsoft Edge – 12.82% (+0.12 points)
  3. Apple Safari – 8.44% (-0.19 points)
  4. Mozilla Firefox – 6.67% (+0.06 points)
  5. Opera – 3.09% (-0.07 points)

Here’s what’s happening on the mobile side of the market, where Chrome is also the undisputed king, with Safari in second and Samsung Internet in third.

  1. Google Chrome – 65.68% (+0.39 points)
  2. Apple Safari – 23.75% (-0.51 points)
  3. Samsung Internet – 4.33% (-0.08 points)
