Windows 10 aside, Chrome is currently the leader among all desktop browsers, with more than 44 percent market share as of October 2015. IE is a distant second (27 percent), followed by Firefox with about 15 percent.
Obviously we’re still in the early days of Edge, but at the moment, it’s not looking good. Even if Edge becomes an amazing browser rivaling Google Chrome in every possible way, it will still be an extremely tough battle to win back users. Why is that you ask? Because over the last several years, IE has developed quite a bad reputation amongst users. This bad reputation not only made using IE “uncool,” it made it frowned upon by your peers. Of course, all of that fueled the fire that resulted in the mass exodus from IE to other browsers. So if Edge fails, don’t blame Edge, blame IE.
