Another updated video with the latest data. Also there're statistical adjustments to Opera, Firefox and Safari numbers thanks to the additional data sources. This should reflect browsers market share with much better accuracy than my previous video. Timeline of worldwide desktop web browsers popularity from 1996 to 2022. Data sources: aggregated statistics from OneStat, LiveInternet, TheCounter, SimilarWeb, Wikimedia, W3Counter and StatCounter.
As always, your feedback is welcome.

It'll be interesting to see what the % will be next year when Chrome drops support for Manifest V2 extensions (this will impact adblockers)

@DataIsBeautifulOfficial Год назад

Probably couple of % shift.

@NoJusticeNoPeace Год назад

Google already pre-emptively sabotaged the competition. Since Edge is Chromium-based, Firefox was the real danger. Google donated a big wedge of money to Mozilla in exchange for seats on their board, then immediately hijacked the board and kicked all the open source people out, then salted malware into Firefox which forced people to "upgrade" to Quantum whether they wanted to or not, which incorporates Chromium control. Google has been planning to destroy ad-blocking for 10+ years.

@whoviankaleigh4113 Год назад

I haven't heard about this. I'll drop Chrome the second it tries to mess with my adblocker.

@adeshpandey9316 Год назад

Something tells me while the percentage WILL shift, there won't be THAT big of a difference. I feel as if a lot of people use chrome as it is, without adblockers. Those people won't care. But people like me have already started shifting to firefox. I am currently using both Chrome and Firefox.

@Daiska_Plays Год назад

I didn't even know about that. Def will go back to firefox, I'm not sure why I switched in the first place. I think I needed chrome specifically for something, then just stuck with it. It wasn't because I thought it was "better". I actually made it look and function like firefox.

Lets go firefox! 2023 will be the year of the browser change. Chrome manifest V2 going away and everyday people getting more serious about their privacy will do away with most Chrome based browsers, such as Chrome, Edge, and Opera. Firefox has better support than ever making the switch seamless. We will see massive headlines about Firefox in 2023, for good reasons.

Год назад

@nooba yerba noo Probably. But the people that do, the most vocal percentage, will be the one's making the headlines. Once "most people" learn that ad blockers no longer work, they will either continue to not care or learn what to do.

Holy cow, I did not know that many people were using Microsoft Edge as their primary browser. I mean, it's not that many compared to Chrome, but it's in second place! I would have assumed that Firefox or Safari were still in second. I thought Edge had been kind of ignored as the replacement for IE. Which apparently was initially true, considering it took like 4 years after rollout to pass IE, but I guess it's gaining a little traction now? Also, for all the jokes at IE's expense, no one has ever dominated like they used to dominate.
