On mobile, Safari makes a four percentage point gain on top of its overall market share, but there’s still a colossal gap between the two.Ĭlearly, I’m in the minority. The former’s lead widens considerably when you dive into the desktop market share, with Chrome pushing up to 67% usage, versus Safari’s 10%. No, I have no idea what ‘Samsung Internet’ is, either, but I assume it relates to whatever browser runs on their massive range of smartphones.īut the real battle clearly lies between Chrome and Safari. Despite its tiny market share, I have fond memories of that browser when it used to be my default choice many years ago. If we look at the current market share for the most popular browsers, across the globe, it goes something like this:įirstly, it’s lovely to see Firefox in that list.
But I also need some help, because I want to get to the bottom of why people are so obsessed with Chrome. So, I’m here today to defend Apple’s answer to Google Chrome.
