<p>Microsoft Edge&#8217;s popularity is rising slowly but steadily among users. Having risen to 9.56% from an 8.1% market share in the past year, Microsoft&#8217;s chromium-based browser is about to take over the 2nd position from Safari.</p>

<p>Even if Edge browser takes over 2nd place from Safari, the 1st place is still very much out of reach as Google&#8217;s Chrome browser holds 64.92% of the market share. But the fact also is that Chrome&#8217;s popularity has also slightly fallen in the past year from 66.47% to 64.92% of the market share.</p>
<p>Microsoft is trying hard to get more popularity for its browser by regularly releasing updates and new features which in the end usually result in a better overall user experience that attracts more users.</p>
