Google may be suffering from Microsoft’s Windows 11 browser strategy

Microsoft’s recent actions have made clear that it wants Windows users using Edge browser to stay. Statcounter’s latest data shows that Microsoft has succeeded in doing so. The tracking website shows that Edge saw a slight increase of its market share in November. The graph on the website shows that Edge’s market share has increased to 4.19% in November, from 3.99% in October.

Google Chrome, however, is the only browser to have lost market share. From 65.27% in October, the browser’s market share fell to 64.04% by November.

Edge is third in market share, but it still trails Safari and Chrome. Microsoft’s decision to redesign its browser with Chromium is starting to pay off.

Chrome was recently attacked by the tech giant. It started to show prompts like “That browser is 2008!” What’s the latest?

When a Chrome browser user visits the Chrome browser download page, it will say “Microsoft Edge”. The company changed its aggressive strategy later.

Microsoft started blocking third-party apps such as EdgeDeflector last month. Microsoft redirects users to Edge browser and Bing search engines when they search for anything in the Start menu. EdgeDeflector is an app that allows users to see search results in their preferred browser.

Windows 11 also introduced a new way for users to assign default apps. Users had to change the default app type to match the file type or link type. Users had to modify the default browser file type in order to change FTP, HTTPS or HTTP, HTML, HTM and PDF, SHTML. SVG, WEBP, XHTML, SHTML, SHTML, HTM, HTML, HTM and PDF. Later, Windows 11 added a Set Default’ browser button.
