With your recent steps, Microsoft has made it clear that it wants Windows users to stick to Edge The latest figures from Browser and StatCounter show that the company has managed to do just that. According to the tracking website, Edge’s market share has increased slightly in the last month. As seen in the graph shared on the website, the browser’s market share increased to 4.19% in November from 3.99% in October. On the other hand, Google Chrome Is the only browser that has lost market share. The browser’s market share declined to 64.04% in November, from 65.27% in October.
Although Edge has had the third largest market share since April, it still lags far behind Safari and Chrome. There’s no denying that Microsoft’s move to improve its browser using Chromium has finally started to pay off.
The tech giant has recently intensified its campaign against chrome When it started displaying prompts like “That browser is so 2008! Do you know what’s new? microsoft edgeWhenever a user visits the Chrome browser download page, the company later retracted from the aggressive strategy.
Last month, Microsoft also started blocking third-party apps like EdgeDeflector. Whenever users search for anything through the search box in the Start menu, Microsoft takes them to the Edge browser and Bing search engine. Apps like EdgeDeflector are used to bypass these restrictions and view search results in your preferred browser.
With the launch of Windows 11, the company also changed the way users assign default apps. On the new operating system, users had to set the default apps by file type or link type instead of a single switch. This means that in order to change the default browser, users had to change the default file types for FTP, HTTPS, HTTP, HTML, HTM, PDF, SHTML, SVG, WEBP, XHT and XHTML. The company later added a ‘set default’ browser button windows 11 Insider preview build 22509.
