In addition to publishing the latest data on Windows and other desktop operating systems, Statcounter also released the latest survey results on browsers. The October 2022 report shows no drastic change from previous months, showing that Microsoft Edge will struggle to break the 11% market share.
According to Statcounter, Google Chrome unsurprisingly remains the browser juggernaut, despite losing 1.12 percentage points in October 2022. Microsoft Edge is the second most popular desktop browser in the world with a share of 10.85% (+0.05 percentage points), which has remained relatively unchanged for the past five months.
