Most Popular Web Browsers 1992 - 2024

[@Eliastion]

The scary thing is how little actual choice there is right now. There is Chrome, Chromium-based Edge, Chromium-based Samsung Browser, Chromium-based Opera, Chromium-based Brave. The only two non-Chromium browsers with over 1% of market share are Safari and Firefox.

[@hotzi9288]

This and very much.

[@MrDannyDetail]

So the market leading browsers were: Until Q1 1992: Line Mode Q2 1992-Q1 1993 ViolaWWW (3/4 year) Q2 1993-Q2 1994 Mosaic (1+1/4 years) Q3 1994-Q2 1998 Netscape (4 years) Q3 1998-Q1 2012 Internet Explorer (13+3/4 years) Q2 2012-present Chrome (12 years so far) If Chrome is still leading the pack at the end of 2025 then it will tie with Internet Explorer's record duration for maket leading. If it's still leading by early summer 2026 then it will be the record holder. It definitely means that there is stagnation in the internet browser market, even before considering the point you made that many of the 'competitors' use the same kernel anyway.

I know this isn't about rendering engines, but I was disappointed not to see the KDE browser Konqueror browser in there, even at a time when you were showing other browsers at 0%. In a sense, Konqueror did what its name said - it konquered. It was its KHTML rendering engine that became Webkit, and later Blink, used by nearly all today's major browsers except Firefox. Konqueror's role is therefore an important part of web history that shouldn't be forgotten. Originally an MCSA Mosaic user, I moved to Netscape in 1995. I became a Konqueror user around 2001 when I moved to Mandrake Linux as my OS, and for a good few years after then, before moving to Firefox in more recent years as KDE got replaced by Gnome on my desktop. Although I'm now back on KDE, Firefox remains my main browser.

how did you make the video?

[@CarapaxSPb]

My first one was Netscape. Then FF (until now).

Same here, although I occasionally use Chrome. Some Google stuff only runs properly on Chrome (and possibly Chrome-engined others, IDK)

Brave. Same as Chrome, but with built in add blocking. Also the logo is nice.

A good rule of thumb: whichever is the most popular is the one you probably want to limit your usage of.

I use Firefox it's just such a practical browser and not chromium based

my favorite browser is Opera GX it looks really great for computers with bad processors and a low amount of ram

@@XSonicLikesVideogames we've survived Timu I think we'll survive Opera and it's not guaranteed that your data is safe since the Norwegian company is partnership with a Chinese company it is not guaranteed and besides It's got a lot of great features anyway like an ad blocker and if your ad blockers detected on a website just turn off JavaScript but that can affect major parts of the website as long as it doesn't require JavaScript you're good even KZbin anti-Adblocker even with JavaScript on I might see something that says that I need to turn off my ad blocker but I could just reload the page or click off of it!

... puro marketing, hasta repites un slogan

[@johnmarkbernal9532]

I've been using Microsoft Edge for 1 year already when I bought my laptop last year. At first, I do not wanna switch and make it my default browser but I tried. Guess what? I also installed Microsoft Edge on my new phone I bought last month since I find it more useful, and convenient than Google Chrome. I just wish everyone would see how many features that Edge can offer.

[@siripupriyan]

ya bro even in use edge ... people just don't know it main attributes

[@goldeer7129]

People just default to Chrome, with out really thinking about it despite the fact it's far from being the best browser...

[@RadioCJG]

That happened to me too. On my phone, I prefer Edge over Chrome because of the ad blocking support. And it really integrates well with desktop version.

What happened to firefox, I remember using it before chrome came in? I thought it would be much popular than edge browser. Opera always sucked😂 Do you count browsers on mobile too?

Did you see Android browser and Samsung browser in the list? Of course ut counts mobile browsers

[@squidwardfromua]

The situation is exactly like with desktop operating systems: Most owned by Chrome/Windows, a part by Safari/MacOS, and the rest - other browsers/Linux distributions & other OSes
