"Chrome has the biggest market share (outside of iOS) because it has the more features (that is web APIs) and less bugs, making it the most reliable browser"
ROFL. Chrome has the biggest market share because it rose while IE was a pile of dogshit and Firefox was going through a massive rewrite. It became the Microsoft of browsers, and turned lazy and fat as a result.
"It is very common to encounter websites or applications which do not work properly in Safari, and web companies and developers are encouraging users to use Chrome because of that."
Extremely uncommon, and generally a good sign that something is trash because it has a development team following the "IE" model.
Sure there is competition. Buy an Android device. But you know what's super weird? Android users leverage their browsers far less than iOS users. They're underrepresented online. Shouldn't they be enjoying that remarkable panacea afforded by such competition? You know, the competition where Chrome on Android is terrible, doesn't support extensions, etc?
- Raqbit 5y agoNot so sure about that last bit, Android is by far the most popular OS according to StatCounter, a global web analytics service: https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/mobile/worldwide https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/mobile/worldwide
- defaultname 5y agoWhich part aren't you sure about? Two facts- -Android is the most popular mobile OS by a long ways -But in every jurisdiction its representation among web visitors lags, usually significantly, its marketshare. iOS users, despite the horseshit that appears from Apple detractors, use their browser more than they do on alternatives. They are over-represented online.
