• Keizer on Web browsers: Being the default does little good

    Posted on July 3, 2018 at 14:56 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    Nice bit of analysis from Computerworld’s Gregg Keizer:

    The browsers bundled with operating systems, notably Microsoft’s Edge and Apple’s Safari, fell to new lows last month as they continued to lose users, showing that being the default no longer provided a significant advantage…

    There’s no other way to put it: Edge is a flop. In the face of some significant barriers put up by Microsoft — among them a multistep process to change Windows 10’s browser default — users have clearly rejected the browser.

    Any wonder why the Timeline feature in 1803 (which only works with Edge and Office, really) just doesn’t move the needle?
