Microsoft Edge Now 2nd Most Popular Web-Browser
Microsoft's latest Edge browser based on the open-source Chromium browser is now the 2nd most popular browser in the world. Having launched just three months ago, it already has increased its userbase around the world to become more popular than even some long-lasting alternatives such as Mozilla Firefox, which is now the 3rd most popular option, showing that Firefox's userbase is decreasing in favor of the new Edge browser by Microsoft. The number one is still Google's Chrome which owns the majority of users at 68.5%, while Edge is at 7.59%. Firefox is present with a 7.19% market share, placing it just below Edge. It is impressive to see a new browser gain big userbase in such a short time, as alternative browsers often take years to gain even 2% of the market. You can check out the whole browser market share chart below.

If they don't want to be screwed, just use Edge..
This is not newsworthy, its propaganda.
Firefox is better. Use it.
<insert more quips>
I been using the same ones i had on Chrome for like 9 months now.
Chrome monopoly works by herd mentality. If you can't think for yourself then you're part of the problem.
Firefox on the other hand also has its bugs, but its never a dealbreaker. Its also not the fastest most zippy browser, but again, it offers a degree of control other browsers really can't approach, at least not without doing all sorts of advanced user stuff with them.
Move along, Alf. I dont want to debate this with you. It's a preference, plain and simple.
