However in spite of all the efforts by Microsoft, its Edge browser has failed to garner a good crunch of the market share and is currently holding 4.16% of users running the Edge browser on their PCs.
This percentage is the lowest compared to Apple’s Safari browser which is at 5.38 percent in June 2018 and is at third place pushing Microsoft’s Edge to fourth.
