Desktop - Browser market share

Desktop Browser Market Share Worldwide

Can't get to the second one cause it says need to get Premium for that site data.

But, in any case, and purely IMO, those stats are just about where they've been since stats have been kept. Again, IMO, the Chrome slice of the pie, in large part, has to do with the fact virtually every non-tech user equates Chrome with Google..... the search engine. Ask 100 people at random what browser they use and a big chunk of them will say Google. It's just ubiquitous. Wife uses Chrome (calls it Google), I use FF. Just preference and what you're used to.

Yes, that's just your opinion (unless you have a link or statistic that prove what you say) and I don't agree with that, "IMO" most users here and in other forums (especially those who use Firefox) don't like anything that has to do with Google or Chrome, so they don't like to recognize the percentage of use that Chrome has.

I am not arguing who likes what for what reason. I don't care who uses what. I was careful to say "non-tech" for a reason. Please don't turn this in to a contest of some sort. I was merely replying to your post of 3 links with no annotation or comment at all, just links.

Thanks for that clarification. In all honesty, I doubt anybody would know it was referring to a post from 9:30 this morning.

You have Chrome collecting user data, Firefox Collecting user Data, Windows 10 collecting everything that the others do not. There is no expectation of privacy any where on The Net Today. I use nothing to stop any of it, because it is impossible to stop it without pulling your Ethernet Cable.

Agreed, TC. I use Firefox because I prefer it.

I have a smartphone and two tablets. All three are android (Google) and came with Chrome (Google) installed. My two desktops and two laptops came with Edge (Microsoft) installed. Is it any wonder that all new computer users just go with what's installed? They don't usually know any better.

I don't go online with my smartphone, but since Google Chrome is installed on it, I'm pretty sure I'm counted as a Chrome user. Same with Edge; it's installed, so again, I think I'm counted as an Edge user on my desktops and laptops.

Far as I'm concerned, the stats are skewed in favor of Microsoft and Google, since I have to go out and look for Firefox when I get a new tablet or computer. If I were a newbie, I'd have no clue that Firefox even existed!
