  • Another updated video with the latest data. Also there're statistical adjustments to Opera, Firefox and Safari numbers thanks to the additional data sources. This should reflect browsers market share with much better accuracy than my previous video. Timeline of worldwide desktop web browsers popularity from 1996 to 2022. Data sources: aggregated statistics from OneStat, LiveInternet, TheCounter, SimilarWeb, Wikimedia, W3Counter and StatCounter.
    As always, your feedback is welcome.

      Google already pre-emptively sabotaged the competition. Since Edge is Chromium-based, Firefox was the real danger. Google donated a big wedge of money to Mozilla in exchange for seats on their board, then immediately hijacked the board and kicked all the open source people out, then salted malware into Firefox which forced people to "upgrade" to Quantum whether they wanted to or not, which incorporates Chromium control. Google has been planning to destroy ad-blocking for 10+ years.

      Something tells me while the percentage WILL shift, there won't be THAT big of a difference. I feel as if a lot of people use chrome as it is, without adblockers. Those people won't care. But people like me have already started shifting to firefox. I am currently using both Chrome and Firefox.

      I didn't even know about that. Def will go back to firefox, I'm not sure why I switched in the first place. I think I needed chrome specifically for something, then just stuck with it. It wasn't because I thought it was "better". I actually made it look and function like firefox.

    I am so old, I remember when we all started using Netscape, then switched to using IE, then to Safari, then everyone switched to Firefox, then absolutely everyone to Chrome, and then finally everyone avoiding using Edge even when Windows tried to make you switch--even after Windows basically turned it into Chrome.

  •  Год назад +100

    Lets go firefox! 2023 will be the year of the browser change. Chrome manifest V2 going away and everyday people getting more serious about their privacy will do away with most Chrome based browsers, such as Chrome, Edge, and Opera. Firefox has better support than ever making the switch seamless. We will see massive headlines about Firefox in 2023, for good reasons.

    •  Год назад

      @nooba yerba noo Probably. But the people that do, the most vocal percentage, will be the one's making the headlines. Once "most people" learn that ad blockers no longer work, they will either continue to not care or learn what to do.
