Netmarketshare: Windows 10 sees a slight rise while Chrome sees a drop in the market share

 

As we start the new year, Netmarketshare has released the market share of the month of December. The data shows a slight rise in Windows 10’s market share but Chrome saw a slight fall in the market share.

 

With Windows 7 nearing the end of support, more and more users are switching to Windows 10. The OS now holds 54.62% of the market and is followed by Windows 7 which is at 26.64% of the market. Apple’s macOS X 10.15 comes in third place with 4.23% of the market. Surprisingly, Windows 8.1 still holds 3.63% of the market and is followed by macOS X 10.14 which is at 3.5%.

 

On the browser side of things, Google Chrome registered a slight drop in the market share. The web browser now holds 66.64% of the market share and is followed by Mozilla Firefox which sits at 8.36% of the market. Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and Edge held third and fourth spots with 7.44% and 6.74% of the market share. Coming at the fifth position was Apple’s Safari with 6.02% of the market share.

 

While there were changes registered, they were not significant but we do expect to see movement in January especially since Windows 7 will be reaching the end of support on 14th January 2020.

wow 66% and then 8%.

Hopefully browser market share will get fixed when the new Chromium based Edge stable rolls out, because currently the market is so wrong.

first part of your reply makes no sense at all.

 

on windows i rather use chrome or brave. all other versions are far too slow. edge is for sure last in the race.

 

on linux i prefer firefox.

 

the market is unfair but that's life.

your reply doesn't make sense too o.O

 

on Windows 10 when the new Edge replaced the classic Edge, I won't have to install 3rd party browsers anymore because it's already good enough and only gets better over time.

On Windows I prefer Firefox  but i hardly use Windows , I  dont  use  closed source browsers or really  like any Chromium spins even when i did use Windows a lot back in prior to 2016 .  Edge , Brave  etc all have Chrome bugs .On Linux i  prefer waterfox classic .  Of course Windows 10 is on the rise  they not sold Windows 8.1 in years  and even when they did  Enterprise  never bought  it they bought Windows 7 instead and Windows 7  updates are dead . consumers  have not bought Windows since Windows 7  was new. And  as soon as most Businesses  migrate  to Windows 10  no one much will be buying Windows again . Everybody knew PC sales were going Pick up in 2019 /2020 because Windows 7 EOL  but it will be short lived.

 

 

If you look  at statcounter   Browser marketshare for all OS  chrome  still have more marketshare than they did a year ago Jan 1st 2019 . Only thing  Marketshare can be use for is to see how things trending over a long time  because it changes back and forth .

Showing just desktop Marketshare  don't tell us how browsers are doing anymore . IOS has  many users  and Android has  more users than Windows  . So even if some miracle happen on desktop and they got more users on Edge than google chrome  it not really going to hurt Google because they have billions using there browser on other OS. Android is stomping Windows butt   they have 40 .47 % of OS market  and Windows only have 34.2 % the amount of windows users keep shrinking  and with Windows 10 being Microsofts  baby i dont expect to see no  desktop revival .
