However, no matter which method is used to determine usage share, all sources agree that those five browsers do not own 100% of the world’s desktop browser usage. Whichever statistics you check (NetMarketshare, StatCounter’s GlobalStats or W3Counter), you’ll notice that they often contradict each other in declaring which browser is leading the race.
Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari and Opera dominate the world’s desktop browser market. They may be the most popular, but they are not the only options available for accessing the Internet. Whichever statistics you check ( NetMarketshare, StatCounter’s GlobalStats or W3Counter), you’ll notice that they often contradict each other in declaring which browser is leading the race. On the contrary, each year more desktop browsers appear, and some of them can change the way you browse the Internet for the better. Dedicated apps may be competing against browsers on mobile devices, but that is hardly the case in the desktop environment.
It’s 2015 and your choice of browser has proven to be as important as your choice of operating system.
