• August Browser and Operating System share numbers mixed

    Posted on September 1, 2017 at 06:40 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    Browsers:

    NetMarketShare has pegged Chrome at or near 59% since February, with an imperceptible downtick July-to-August. Edge has been around 5.6% since February. The only gainer? “Other.”

    StatCounter puts Chrome at 54%, basically unchanged since April. Edge has been at 1.7% since January. IE continues to decline.

    Operating Systems:

    NetMarketShare pegs Win7 share as down about half a point from 48.91% in July to 48.43% in August. Win10 is up about a third of a point from 27.63 to 27.99%.

    StatCounter says Win7 slightly dropped a percentage point to 45%, down from the 46% since April. Win10 is up almost a point, from 36.93% in July to 37.87% in August.

    You can draw your own conclusions, but the bottom line is that almost half of all Windows users are on Win7, Chrome is declining a little bit, depending on whose numbers you trust, and Edge has gone nowhere fast.

    Gregg Keizer should have a full report in Computerworld shortly.
