This doesn't seem to be the case? I visited NetMarketShare myself, and showed the market share stats for all browsers, excluding bots/spiders. It then shows Chrome > Safari > Firefox > IE11 > Edge. Pardon the large, ugly URL, but this is the filter I used: https://netmarketshare.com/?options=%7B%22filter%22%3A%7B%22%24and%22%3A%5B%7B%22deviceType%22%3A%7B%22%24nin%22%3A%5B%22Bot%20or%20spider%22%5D%7D%7D%5D%7D%2C%22dateLabel%22%3A%22Trend%22%2C%22attributes%22%3A%22share%22%2C%22group%22%3A%22browser%22%2C%22sort%22%3A%7B%22share%22%3A-1%7D%2C%22id%22%3A%22browsersDesktop%22%2C%22dateInterval%22%3A%22Monthly%22%2C%22dateStart%22%3A%222019-04%22%2C%22dateEnd%22%3A%222020-03%22%2C%22segments%22%3A%22-1000%22%7D https://netmarketshare.com/?options=%7B%22filter%22%3A%7B%22... Edit: I see now that softpedia is talking about desktop browsers only. Even then, Edge is in fourth place. https://netmarketshare.com/?options=%7B%22filter%22%3A%7B%22%24and%22%3A%5B%7B%22deviceType%22%3A%7B%22%24in%22%3A%5B%22Desktop%2Flaptop%22%5D%7D%7D%5D%7D%2C%22dateLabel%22%3A%22Trend%22%2C%22attributes%22%3A%22share%22%2C%22group%22%3A%22browser%22%2C%22sort%22%3A%7B%22share%22%3A-1%7D%2C%22id%22%3A%22browsersDesktop%22%2C%22dateInterval%22%3A%22Monthly%22%2C%22dateStart%22%3A%222019-04%22%2C%22dateEnd%22%3A%222020-03%22%2C%22segments%22%3A%22-1000%22%7D https://netmarketshare.com/?options=%7B%22filter%22%3A%7B%22... Edit #2: forthefuture found the filter they're using, so you can disregard the above.

It's an aggregate of the months you're selecting (2019/04 - 2020/03). If you select just March you can see what they're seeing: https://netmarketshare.com/?options=%7B%22filter%22%3A%7B%22%24and%22%3A%5B%7B%22deviceType%22%3A%7B%22%24in%22%3A%5B%22Desktop%2Flaptop%22%5D%7D%7D%5D%7D%2C%22dateLabel%22%3A%22Custom%22%2C%22attributes%22%3A%22share%22%2C%22group%22%3A%22browser%22%2C%22sort%22%3A%7B%22share%22%3A-1%7D%2C%22id%22%3A%22browsersDesktop%22%2C%22dateInterval%22%3A%22Monthly%22%2C%22dateStart%22%3A%222020-03%22%2C%22dateEnd%22%3A%222020-03%22%2C%22segments%22%3A%22-1000%22%7D https://netmarketshare.com/?options=%7B%22filter%22%3A%7B%22...

  Ah, thank you. I wish they included the URL, or shown the entire filter they used.

    It looks as if some Firefox users bailed to try out the new Edge since the update? Chrome usage remained mostly constant. I'm curious to see if they stick with it, or switch back to Firefox. I like how the article talks as if it was some sort of inevitable milestone we've all been waiting for. And now, instantly, the second that Edge finally eek-ed past Firefox (if we consider desktop usage only), it will never change. It will just keep climbing and climbing onto browser dominance :) Pretty lame article if you ask me. Not very interesting.
