Great news: Microsoft Edge becomes second largest desktop browser!

Great news for Edge team and fellow Insiders,

Microsoft Edge becomes second largest Desktop browser surpassing Mozilla Firefox!

Though the difference between the share of Edge and Firefox is not much, this is just a start for the team & the insiders!

Congratulations Edge Team!

Ooh, check the report for the month of March yourself!

    Mobile Edge is on page 2 of the mobile results. With the need to sync phones and laptops, I don't think Edge is going to have a chance of becoming a major player unless and until they can make inroads into the mobile market.

        The share increase is only for Desktop platform.

        I know but Edge is a multi platform browser for desktop/tablets/mobile. so when comparing, should remove all the filters to see the true stats.

        an increase on desktop can mean anything, maybe Windows update that automatically installs new Edge stable on Windows 10 computers caused that, and Edge browser which is installed through Windows update can't be uninstalled.

    Microsoft Edge is edging out the competition against other browsers.
