Less than one per cent of web users like Microsoft’s Edge browser

When Microsoft first announced its shiny-new Edge browser – released with Windows 10 – it’s fair to say that it didn’t exactly inspire the masses to jump ship from Google’s Chrome and Mozilla’s FireFox.

It might have attracted curious onlookers who hoped Edge was going to be the browser that could finally put Microsoft back on the web surfing map. Sadly, this doesn’t seem to have been the case.

According to some number crunching on web analytics page StatsCounter, less than 1% (0.82% to be exact) of people on the internet use Edge to get around cyberspace.StatCounter

 

The chart above was created by displaying the top 12 desktop browsers between August and September this year, with all the versions of Google’s Chrome and FireFox grouped together, respectively.

We are well aware that this is by no means the final version of Edge, but it definitely failed to make the impact that Microsoft had hoped for.

Some of Edge’s bigger features include distraction-free browsing, extensive Cortana integration (Cortana is Microsoft’s built-in helper, sort of like their Siri), a new tab interface, the ability to write on and share any web page and quite a bit more. But all these features don’t seem to have swayed the masses.
