The adoption of the new Microsoft Edge browser keeps improving as more users consider the Chromium-based version a worthy alternative to the likes of Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.

But according to new data provided by NetMarketShare for the month of February, it looks like Firefox is the one that’s the most affected by the arrival of the new Edge, as its market share fell substantially in the last few weeks.

In other words, Microsoft Edge is now very close to becoming the world’s second most-used desktop browser, with Firefox likely to drop to third place as soon as the next month.

In February, Google Chrome improved its market share from 66.93% to 67.27%, which is a little unexpected given the launch of the new Microsoft Edge browser. However, these stats reveal a significant drop for Firefox, which went down from 8.12% to 7.57%.

Microsoft Edge, on the other hand, increased its market share from 7.02% to 7.39%, and if the same trends are maintained, there’s a good chance it overtakes Firefox as soon as this month.

The Chromium push

The continuously-increasing adoption of the new Edge isn’t necessarily surprising.

The Chromium-powered browser not only that is offered as the new default on Windows 10, replacing the legacy sibling, but it’s also available on Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, and macOS. The Chromium engine allows it to become a cross-platform browser, and Microsoft is also working on a Linux version whose debut should take place sometime in the near future.

There’s no doubt its adoption will be further improvement in the coming months as more people decide to give it a try, but by the looks of things, overtaking Google Chrome is something that won’t just happen overnight. Chrome is still a tough nut to crack, and it’ll probably take years before Edge manages to get closer in terms of market share.
