steven36 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 As we proceed to a new month, NetMarketShare has updated their starts for progress made in the month of April 2018 by the various browsers and operating systems. This month the numbers contain a few surprises, including a minor drop in Google Chrome, Firefox, and Edge market share while surprisingly Internet Explorer saw a rise. Also, as Microsoft rolled out a new update for Windows 10, NetMarketShare’s data showed a drop in the market share of the operating system.

Edge 4% ? pic.twitter.com/IRiLyW7N4e — Tero Alhonen (@teroalhonen) May 2, 2018 According to the numbers, Google Chrome dropped from 61.77% to 61.69% which is not a big change but is noticeable. Also, Firefox dropped from 10.52% to 10.17% and Microsoft Edge saw a decline from 4.46% to 4.45%. Surprisingly enough, Internet Explorer saw a rise from 12.20% to 12.30%. Coming to the Windows numbers, unfortunately, Windows 10 saw a drop in the market share this month. Last month Windows 10 was running on 33.83% machines which dropped to 33.81% this month. Also, Windows 8.1 saw a drop from 5.46% to 5.25% and Windows XP fell from 4.59% to 4.36%. However, Windows 7 saw a rise from 43.44% to 43.57%. The numbers aren’t looking good for Microsoft especially in the browser department as users seem to stick with third-party browsers instead of making a switch to Microsoft Edge.

vitorio Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Google Chrome is not what is has been to be in the past. In my case I can mention the following situations fot not using it so much: -slow when compare to Slimjet which I used now 90% of the time. -No ad blocker -Google bar not working properly in my Android, Nexus 6P, Nougat -crash frequently when copy and paste with my Android phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted May 5, 2018 Administrator Share Posted May 5, 2018 Some things I have understood from some time now. While this is my personal view, I am sure there can be some statistics which show this later. I have found that a lot of regular Firefox users have switched to other browsers or the non-regular release after the major upgrade and in return, a lot of Chrome users, atleast those expertised with internet and computers, have switched or switched back to Firefox, from what I can understand of all this.
