is chrome including all the chromium based browsers (like Edge and opera)?
Chrome should be illegal. It collects a lot more data than any other browser that is based on the Chromium engine.
Me still running Firefox. Holding the line like it’s 2009.
I dont get it why are not more people using firefox
firefox killed themselves. it was great until suddenly it wasnt anymore around 2010 or so…
It downright stupid how underrated FireFox is. To see it right next to IE is criminal.
It’s been the best browser for ages. I’ve been using it for like 16 years now, and while there were moments where Chrome was better, those moments were very few and far between, or only in specific use-cases.
It’s ashamed how Opera gets so little appreciation.
Given that Edge is pre-installed, I am surprised not to see it named on here. How much of “Other” does it account for?
I know this only goes back to 2009, but it’s probably worth mentioning the Internet Explorer had over 90% of the share at their peak in case anyone thinks chrome has reached the same stranglehold on the market.
Does chrome in the diagram include edge with runs on chromium? Or is edge under other?
And I’ll throw in my support for Firefox here as well, it is a complete tragedy to see it. Market show drop so much when it is the best browser handsdown.
At home I use Vivaldi, at work Edge and honestly Edge is not too bad.
This is because most of the phones on earth are android
Man I was using Chrome in 2010. The world felt so promising and optimistic then. Fuck google for violating their one rule “don’t be evil”.
Says a hell of a lot about a certain browser that even though the thing comes with the OS, an entire world full of lazy bums can still get off their asses and download something better.
That is about the time Firefox started shitting the bed.
Didn’t think Firefox had fallen off that far. I’m guessing “Other” is probably Opera and Tor? And does Edge count as IE or other?
Shows just the spot firefox went downhill. I used to be a FF hardliner but after 09/10 chrome was a real competitor and the FF user experience was in freefall.
For all the Firefox lovers in chat, why are you using it over Brave?
I am still so surprised that people are still using Chrome even after well known ad blockers were killed last year. Google has just as much a stranglehold on this market as Microsoft has on Windows( But with the advent of Steam OS that may finally change)
Does this data reflect that many browsers hide their user agent?
Crazy IE is so low given the market share of Windows.
Like everyone else, I’m completely baffled by the underuse of Firefox. Never stopped using it. Opera on mobile, despite the terrible ownership, but it just works so perfectly well.
Chrome is not a browser anymore. It’s what’s under the hood of most browsers.
No chrome. I used firefox for quite a while but it has become jabba the hut on my linux instances and windows as well. About a year ago I switched over to brave and typically run 2 to 3 GB smaller memory footprint on linux.
I went to college in 2005 and got the internet ‘at home’ for the first time and I’ve been using Firefox ever since.
I remember at the end of my time in college, Google came out with Chrome and then pushed it everywhere and it felt so astroturfy. It was great at first, tiny and snappy fast, but then within a few years they loaded it up with all sorts of tracking and stuff.
It’s a bummer to see Firefox usage so low. I absolutely love the extensions that block trackers and ads. I haven’t seen web ads in forever.
I figure the Safari browsing is probably largely all the iPhones. Maybe a chunk of Chrome is all the Android phones.
Edge is the best chromium browser right now.
I don’t have the RAM to run chrome
Wild that IE has a replacement and it is incredibly difficult to remove from an operating system that makes up like 85% of the market and yet the replacement best falls under “Other”.
EDIT: I forgot that this is almost certainly including mobile devices, not just desktop/laptop OSs. Feel free to disregard.
I dropped chrome almost 5 or so years ago to switch to Brave, and then switched again to Arc, though I still use Brave on mobile.
Arc has some issues, but I’m a tab psychopath, so it shines where I need it to (after some annoying wait time for it to add features).
Most successful spyware in the world
You know you’re old when you look for the collapse of netscape and realise it starts at 2009😭
I would use Firefox but no support for Google Wallet and a lot of my software programs for work didn’t work on it. So had to revert back to Chrome
Anyone here use DuckDuckGo? Been using it for years for privacy and security and it doesn’t use the amount of resources other browsers do it’s great
The only machines running IE are corporate computers.
I was using edge for a bit and also tried a couple others, but I keep coming back to chrome. I hate myself for it.
Google still paying Firefox 250 Mil a year?
I think this graph is a bit misleading. It looks like all browsers are being used LESS over time. But since it all adds up to 100% it skews the graph a bit. Considering the growth of the web I think all browsers are growing, but Chrome is growing faster. Do you have a graph with absolute data instead of relative data?
as someone who generally uses Safari, it’s shocking how many web pages are designed to only work in Chrome or FF. Major oversight from devs

Did not realize Firefox fell so hard.
