With his recent movement, Microsoft has explained that he wants Windows users to stick to the browser edge and the latest number by Statcounter shows that the company has managed to do it.
According to the tracking site, Edge has seen a slight increase in its market share last month.
As seen on the graph distributed on the website, the browser market share increased to 4.19% in November from 3.99% in October.
On the other hand, Google Chrome is the only browser that has lost market share.
The browser market share fell to 64.04% in November from 65.27% in October.
Although Edge holds the third highest market share of April, it is still quite far from Safari and Chrome.
It cannot be rejected that Microsoft’s movement to change the browser using chromium finally began to pay off.
Giant Tech recently increased his campaign against Chrome when starting to show instructions such as “the browser became 2008! Do you know what’s new? Microsoft Edge.” Every time the user visits the Chrome browser download page.
However, the company then returns from an aggressive strategy.
Last month, Microsoft also began blocking third-party applications such as Edgeflector.
Every time a user searches for something through the search box on the Start menu, Microsoft takes them to the edge of the browser and the Bing search engine.
Applications such as edgeflector are used to avoid these sidewalks and see search results in their choice browser.
With the launch of Windows 11, the company also changes the way the user sets the default application.
In the new operating system, the user must specify the default application in accordance with the type of file or link to the Links instead of one switch.
This means that to change the default browser, the user must change the default file type for FTP, HTTPS, HTTP, HTML, HTM, PDF, SHTML, SVG, WebP, XHTML.
The company then adds the browser ‘set default’ button with Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22509.
