From its release at the end of July to now, in just one month, Windows 10 has delivered an excellent report: it has captured a 5.33% global market share, surpassing Windows 8 which had only 3.45%, and becoming the world's fifth-largest operating system.

In addition, authoritative statistics agency StatCounter also released a browser market report, showing thatIn August, Windows 10's brand-new browser Edge had not yet gained any substantial share — its name doesn't even appear on the list。

This sounds a bit incredible. Previously, Microsoft executives also announced that as of now, more than 75 million devices worldwide have Windows 10 installed. In other words, these devices also have the built-in Edge browser installed.But installation does not equal active use, meaning that basically almost no one is using the Edge browser yet.。

Based on previous testing,The Edge browser outperforms IE in all aspects, but there is still much room for improvement in compatibility,and many websites still need to be opened with IE.

In addition, in terms of functionality, the Edge browser is also somewhat lacking. For example, users are accustomed to using "Refresh" in the right-click menu to refresh, but the Edge browser simply doesn't have it. It only provides three developer-oriented options: "Select All", "Inspect Element", and "View Source", which ordinary users basically never use.

From the statistics,Chrome 44 ranked first with a 44.48% share, IE 11 (10.89%) and Firefox (7.45%) took second and third places respectively.It is worth mentioning that mobile Chrome for Android also has a 1.4% share, and its performance is praiseworthy.
