Famous Web browser
from Apple, Safari
is currently one of the most widely used on the market. However, it seems that it has been losing momentum for some time, to the point of being close to losing its second place in the rankings…
And yes, Safari is still the second most used web browser in the world today!
Safari losing speed?
Available on tablets, smartphones and computers from the Apple brand, Safari has for many years secured its second place among the most used web browsers in the world, far behind Google Chrome, which largely dominates this market. However, according to some data collected by StatCounter, it seems that the Apple browser is losing ground on computers. Indeed, it would not be very far from being caught up by Firefox and Microsoft Edge on a global scale.
In January 2022, Safari was used by 9.84% of desktop users, compared to 10.38% in January 2021. But, while this is experiencing a loss of speed, last January, Microsoft Edge was placed just behind Safari , with 9.54% of the shares. For its part, Firefox has also encountered a gain in interest, since it now holds 9.18% of the market share on desktop computers, where it only held 8.1% last year. former. For its part, Chrome is unsurprisingly still very far ahead, with 65.38% of the shares.
It is important to note that in Europe, Safari has already lost its second place and this pattern could well reverberate globally if trends continue to go in this direction. In addition, it should be noted that other web browsers can be installed on Apple computers, where Safari must be satisfied with macOS for desktop computers.
