While Chrome Dominates, Microsoft Edge Struggles To Attract New Users (neowin.net)

An anonymous reader quotes Neowin's report on the newest browser-usage figures from NetMarketShare: Microsoft Edge only commands a market share of 5.65% -- which is an increase of only 0.02 percentage points compared to last month... it only grew by 0.56% year-over-year. On the other hand, Google Chrome has continued its dominance with a market share of 59.49%. As a point of reference, this is a sizeable growth of 10.84 percentage points year-over-year... Data from another firm, StatCounter, depicts an even more depressing situation for Microsoft. According to the report, Edge sits at 3.89%... Chrome is the king of all browsers according to these statistics as well, with a market share of 63.21% -- a decrease of 0.14 percentage points compared to last month. Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari command 14%, 9.28%, and 5.16% respectively.
The firm also calculates that when it comes to desktop operating systems, Windows has 91.51% of all users, followed by MacOS at 6.12 and Linux at 2.36%.

  1. Slashdot fucked up! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll

    I just found out that I am banned in Slashdot

    I can't submit any story and I am prohibited from making any comment (non-anonymously)

    Reason - my submis

    Submissions have been marked as "SPAM"

    If I have spammed the submission process and I get banned, then I have nothing to say. However, I submit real stories, and stories that I have submitted that have been adopted by the editors and appeared on the Slashdot frontpage, have also been marked 'SPAM'

    Example, this submission - https://slashdot.org/submission/7143315/we-dont-want-your-bitcoins

    As you can see, the submission has a red "SPAM" stamped on it

    But the same submission has made it to the frontpage - https://news.slashdot.org/story/17/06/19/0455205/ia-coinbase-closing-accounts-for-paying-ransoms-with-bitcoins

    Slashdot must be seriously fucked !
