Their browser share dropped a little recently (https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share). If that continues, it'll certainly irk them!
- exacube 6y agoConsider that browser share usage could shift around as device usage shifts around during a pandemic.
- osrec 6y agoI don't disagree, but would you expect such a significant drop in Safari usage?
- ComputerGuru 6y agoIt’s possible if people are using company-provided devices at home in lieu of their own, and the company is providing Windows devices while theirs were Apple. I don’t know the likelihood of this explanation, though.
- osrec 6y agoI would personally think this is unlikely. Looking at https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-version-market-share https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-version-market-share we can see that Safari on iPhone probably caused the overall drop. Now, I can't see people suddenly not using their iPhone because of the pandemic (quite the contrary actually) - perhaps this signifies a slowdown in iPhone sales?
- summerlight 6y agoIMO, that won't happen until either Apple gives up their control on browser "engine" choices on iOS or Apple itself becomes irrelevant.
