While that may be appealing for some who dislike frequent browser updates, it also means upgrades and/or fixes for Safari don’t come often. So the bulk of new features are often rolled out in a single instance. Unlike some rival browsers, such as Firefox, Apple’s updates to Safari are sparse, with major upgrades just once a year. “Do we really want to live in a 95% Chromium browser world? That would be a horrible future for the web. “Catching up with tech Twitter this morning and there seems to be an angry pocket of men who really want Safari to just go away,” Simmons tweeted. Jen Simmons, an Apple evangelist and developer advocate on the Web Developer Experience team for Safari and WebKit, was clearly taken aback by the responses. Safari’s popularity in some quarters may, in fact, be waning - if Twitter comments can be a measurement of its popularity.Įarlier this month, an Apple employee who advocates for Safari developers got an eyeful after taking to Twitter to ask users for feedback on why the Safari browser is unpopular and to ask that they point out specific issues with it. Safari is a distant fourth, with just 3.73%. For example, Net MarketShare’s most recent data has Chrome at 69% market share, Edge at 7.75%, and Firefox at 7.48%. Some web analytics services already have Edge surpassing all other browsers except the ever-dominant Chrome.

Chrome has 46.3%, Safari nets 39.4%, and Android claims just 12.6% of traffic. On those devices, it’s a very different story. Of course, Safari’s lane is as a default browser on the Apple iPhone and iPad tablet. But of course, Microsoft also has the advantage of putting Edge on every Windows machine, so there is a natural built-in use case for people who don’t want to bother with downloading an alternative,” Gold added. “And the link to Microsoft security helps with keeping away malware and malicious sites.

And, while it’s not perfect, it does “a pretty good job of filtering out all the garbage people throw at you when browsing. Microsoft also upped Edge’s game around security and privacy, Gold said.

“For one thing, when Microsoft switched to a Chromium engine, Edge got a lot faster and more compatible with more websites that, because of the preponderance of Google Chrome browsers, were built to be compatible with Chrome and not the older Edge (it had some unique requirements for full compatibility),” Gold said. Not only did Microsoft make Edge a Chrome copy, it also expanded support to versions of Windows other than 10, including macOS and Linux.

In 2020, Microsoft relaunched Edge, recasting it with Google’s dominant Chromium technology it’s the same browser code that powers Chrome. There's a great chance some of these will come to Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox in the form of extensions, but unless either browser supports similar ideas officially, they may be losing the "edge" to Edge.All in all, Edge is now a worthy competitor to Goggle Chrome, with rivals such as Firefox apparently losing the limited popularity they already had, according to Jack Gold, president and principal analyst at J. However, the positive reception of these updates has been a major factor in the browser's recent increase in popularity. These features are going into Microsoft's Insider program, which functions as a public beta test of sorts, so current Edge users may not see them today.

Password Monitoring meaningfully reduces the hassle. Making password adjustments this convenient will potentially inspire people to be more careful with their online security.

The genius of it, though, is that Microsoft Edge then prompts the user with a link to that site's login page to update their password. This option will tell a user if their credentials are compromised on any site by searching a database of known at-risk logins.

Edge has a tool that saves login credentials similarly to Google Chrome, but Password Monitoring takes this idea many steps forward.
