How do you explain that Bing has only 10% of the search market share on the desktop? Windows has over 70% market share on the desktop. Windows comes with Edge

Windows has over 70% market share on the desktop. Windows comes with Edge as the default browser and Edge has Bing as the default search engine.
But Edge only has 12% of the Desktop browser market share.
It looks like 6 out of 7 windows users switch to Chrome for some reason. If not for the cleaner interface - why?

- andybak 3y agoAdvice from whom?
- roywiggins 3y agoGrandchildren, nephews, nieces, etc.
- acheron 3y agoGoogle shills, presumably.

And odds are, they probably have been since the early 2010s, if not earlier---long before Edge was a thing. When they get a new computer, they install Chrome because they're already in that ecosystem: bookmarks, saved passwords, customization, Google accounts, familiarity. They won't suddenly use Edge because it has none of that.
- HPMOR 3y agoI literally only use chrome on windows because of the cleaner interface.
- MisterBastahrd 3y agoBecause when IE was utter garbage, Chrome had better performance, an ecosystem that included GMail, and also stored our passwords and bookmarks. Chrome also eventually allowed you to conduct google searches directly from the address bar. People use what they are comfortable with, and all the functionality built into Chrome by google is a HUGE sunk cost to bypass. The only person I know who uses Edge and Bing regularly does it to earn gift cards from Microsoft.
