Browser Market Share

Real-time web browser usage statistics across desktop, mobile, and tablet

NetMarketShare tracks browser market share worldwide using real human visitor data, with bots and fraudulent traffic filtered out so the numbers reflect what people are actually using to browse the web.


What is browser market share?

Browser market share — sometimes called browser usage share or browser stats — is the percentage of web traffic generated by each web browser within a given time period. It is the most widely cited measure of which browsers people actually use, and is used by web developers, IT teams, marketers, and analysts to decide which browsers to test, support, and target.

Web browsers we track

  • Google Chrome — the dominant cross-platform browser, built on the Chromium engine
  • Apple Safari — the default browser on macOS, iOS, and iPadOS
  • Microsoft Edge — the default browser on Windows, also built on Chromium
  • Mozilla Firefox — the leading independent, open-source browser
  • Opera, Samsung Internet, UC Browser, Yandex and other regional browsers

Browser market share by device type

Why accurate browser market share matters

Browser share data drives real decisions: which browsers QA teams test against, which web standards developers can safely rely on, which platforms ad networks optimize for, and where product teams invest engineering effort. Inflated or bot-skewed numbers lead to wasted work supporting browsers no real users have, or skipping browsers that real users actually depend on.
