I used to cowl Statcounter’s month-to-month findings about Home windows and browser market share every month. Whereas within the Home windows half, drastic adjustments occur each time (Home windows 11 is rapidly catching as much as Home windows 10), issues on the browser facet are utterly stalled. Competing with Google Chrome is an immense activity, and even companies like Microsoft are struggling to place a dent in Chrome’s market share.

Statcounter studies that over the past 12 months, the desktop browser market share worldwide has seen little or no to no motion. Google Chrome, regardless of all of the regulatory turbulence round it, stays uncontested with an amazing 65.02% market share, which, in April 2025, decreased by 0.62 factors.

One yr in the past, in April 2024, Microsoft Edge had 12.97%. Quick ahead to Could 2025, Microsoft’s browser has 13.29% (-0.08 factors in a single month and +0.32 factors year-over-year). Regardless of being the default browser in Home windows 10 and 11, regardless of being very onerous to delete from the working system, and regardless of all of the efforts Microsoft places into making customers swap from Chrome (a few of them are fairly aggressive and overtly user-hostile), Edge nonetheless appears completely caught with its 13% market share worldwide (the very best level was 13.9% by the tip of February 2025).

In some international locations, although, issues are a bit higher for Microsoft. For instance, in the UK, Edge has a extra spectacular 21.78%, whereas Chrome has 52.45%. However then, there may be India, the place Chrome sits at a whopping 86.22% and Microsoft Edge is all the best way down at simply 5.65%.

Apple’s Safari is the third hottest desktop browser worldwide with a 7.95% market share (-0.3 factors in April 2025). Firefox is fourth with 6.14% (+0.12 factors), and Opera closes the highest 5 with a modest 3.04% market share (+0.1 level).
