Edge Overtakes Firefox To Become the Second-Most Popular Browser
'It was probably just a matter of time, but the thing so many people, including everyone at Microsoft, expected finally happened: Microsoft Edge surpassed Mozilla Firefox to become the world's second most-used desktop browser. Data provided by market analysis firm NetMarketShare reveals that the whole thing happened in March, when the adoption of the Chromium-powered Microsoft Edge improved to a level that allowed it to overtake Mozilla's own browser.
So right now, Microsoft Edge is the second most-used desktop browser on the planet with a share of 7.59%, while Mozilla Firefox is now third with 7.19%.
As for who's leading the pack, Google Chrome continues to be number one with a share of 68.50%'

Cheers, Peter
Popularity does not mean better in my opinion.The Linux o/s is still down that list by some way but I believe it to be a much better system than the most popular choice.
Cheers John..

Particularly since Firefox seems to be the only non-WebKit-based browser still in common use.
I don’t think we want to see a return to the lock-in and stagnation of the Internet Explorer 6 days.
