Edge Overtakes Firefox To Become the Second-Most Popular Browser
'It was probably just a matter of time, but the thing so many people, including everyone at Microsoft, expected finally happened: Microsoft Edge surpassed Mozilla Firefox to become the world's second most-used desktop browser. Data provided by market analysis firm NetMarketShare reveals that the whole thing happened in March, when the adoption of the Chromium-powered Microsoft Edge improved to a level that allowed it to overtake Mozilla's own browser. So right now, Microsoft Edge is the second most-used desktop browser on the planet with a share of 7.59%, while Mozilla Firefox is now third with 7.19%. As for who's leading the pack, Google Chrome continues to be number one with a share of 68.50%' -- source: https://news.slashdot.org/story/20/04/05/1727217 Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann Dept. of Computer Science University of Waikato, NZ +64 (7) 858-5174 http://www.cms.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ http://www.data-mining.co.nz/
Popularity does not mean better in my opinion.The Linux o/s is still down that list by some way but I believe it to be a much better system than the most popular choice. Cheers John.. On 6/04/20 8:31 am, Peter Reutemann wrote:

Particularly since Firefox seems to be the only non-WebKit-based browser still in common use. I don’t think we want to see a return to the lock-in and stagnation of the Internet Explorer 6 days.
