The move to Chromium was a huge success on the part of Microsoft, and all the improvements made to Chromium since then have moved steadily in that direction. In addition, the company’s engineers were decisively involved in the development of Chromium, which made part of the improvements to Microsoft Edge also reach other browsers, such as Google Chrome.

in spite of that, Google’s browser remains, to this day, the undisputed number one In terms of user share, without any indication that its leadership is at risk. Apple Safari takes second place in the ranking, and Google Edge is third, far from it. According to StatCounter data as of June 2022, Chrome has scored 65.87%, Safari 18.62%, and Microsoft Edge has overtaken the platform with a modest 4.12%.

And then, as you might expect, they recommend Microsoft Edge. I would like to know, and I am not cynical, the level of effectiveness of this type of work. Personally, it looks legit to me, even though Google can do the exact same thing in their search engine results. It’s not progress for users, but it’s not against us either.
