In a testament to how fast the landscape in technology can shift, there was a time — though it feels like ancient history now — when Microsoft’s Internet Explorer was the most popular web browser in the world. Internet Explorer, however, would soon see its share of the market shrink drastically as Google Chrome — which was released in 2008 — started to pick up steam.
Fast forward to 2020 and Google’s Chrome browser is without question the leading web browser. As of last month, Chrome held a 67% browser market share. Meanwhile, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Microsoft Edge have 9%, 7.4%, and 5.6% of the browser market, respectively.
