The blog post claims that Edge only just overtook Firefox for the third-place spot in the past year. Firefox is hot on Edge's tail in fourth place at 179,084,244. In a very distant third place is Microsoft's Edge, at 212,695,363. The statistics are based on the GlobalStats browser market share percentage, which was then converted into numbers using the Internet World Stats internet user metric to retrieve the exact numbers.Īccording to the data, Chrome has approximately 3,378,967,819 users, while Safari has 1,006,232,879.

Still, it's impressive given that Safari is the only major web browser not available on Android, which is the world's most popular mobile operating system, or Windows, the most popular desktop OS.Ītlas VPN wrote this on its blog to explain how it got to the number: Likely, Safari's status as the default browser for both the iPhone and iPad plays a much bigger role than its usage on the Mac. It's important to note that these numbers include mobile users, not just desktop users. But at nearly 3.4 billion, Chrome still leaves Safari in the dust. Only one other browser has more than a billion users, and that's Google's Chrome. Apple's Safari web browser has more than 1 billion users, according to an estimate by Atlas VPN.
