    Only 2 Percent of Windows 10 Consumers Using Microsoft Edge Browser


    Regardless of whether it's 2% of market or 2% of Win 10 users it still means the same thing, there's not a lot of users of the Edge browser. Hopefully MS will add some missing features otherwise that market share will never grow.

    Since Edge is only available in Windows 10, the title of the OP does not matter. I use Cyberfox.

    Only 2 Percent of Windows 10 Consumers Using Microsoft Edge Browser

    Many folks who used other browsers for years will just install their browser and transfer their bookmarks over to get up and running, with the intention of figuring out Edge later (as it's not immediately obvious how to use it and bookmark import is also limited).

    I can't even use edge. Every site I try to go to gives me the generic "Hmm, we can't reach this page." error. Never really had much of a need to troubleshoot it, since I'm quite happy with Firefox.

    I tried Edge several times during the insider previews and now in the 10 release, but it doesn't work as well as the others on a fair number of sites I've visited, or it works to some extent but with some issues, etc. I'm waiting for it to develop further before I use it again, and am meanwhile sticking with Firefox which always works for me everywhere I go.

    Not really because only Windows 10 users can use Edge. So if it's 2% of all Windows users there are way more people using it. Also if 2% of the market translates to over 30% of Windows 10 users because they are the only ones that can use Edge. I bet there are lots of people that use multiple browsers.

    I'm just going to go ahead and keep using Firefox. Sorry Microsoft, but I've never liked your browser.

    Cyberfox for me as well [64bit] Transferred everything over from Firefox using the back up add-on "Firefox Environment Backup Extension" FEBE for short. Works a treat.

    Supposedly "Edge" allows you do things that other browsers don't but i have not noticed it yet .

    Since Edge is installed by default and set up as the default browser in Win10, I would be very surprised if less than 90% of the Win10 users utilize Edge. It's a pain to disable it and to re-add IE as the default browser -- not something as easy as picking from a list of (default) browsers when you (1) do the Win10 Upgrade, or (2) first login to Win10.

    I don't use Edge because I'm not obsessed with the Metro UI. I'd rather use a traditional UI Browser that works well (IE 11) than struggle along with a Metro UI browser that has problems.

    Not that hard to change defaults. MS products and installed apps will still use Edge, but everything else will use your default browser. In my case, Chrome.
