Microsoft celebrates advancements in its Edge browser, particularly focusing on AI-powered features like Copilot and auto-translation. However, the report downplays the browser's slow growth in market share compared to dominant competitors like Google Chrome.
Microsoft has published a year in review for its Edge browser and talked up AI-powered chats while lightly skipping over the software's stagnating market share. There had been over 10 billion AI-powered chats with Copilot from inside the Edge browser window (although it did not disclose how many chats were customers asking how to install Chrome).

The market leader, Google's Chrome browser, went from 65.23 percent to 66.33 percent in the same period. That's only slightly more than 1 percent, but it still maintains its dominance. When Chrome rose in popularity, it did so in part due to dissatisfaction with Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE) browser as well as updates, including a Microsoft teases Copilot Vision, the AI sidekick that judges your tabs Rival browsers cry foul after Microsoft Edge slips through EU gatekeeper cracks Microsoft's attempt to replace IE with Edge, built on its proprietary browser engine, EdgeHTML, was swiftly ditched in favor of the Chromium-based Edge in use today. Chrome and many other browsers are also based on Chromium. Some notable exceptions exist, such as Mozilla's Firefox, but Chromium is the dominant browser engine. This can make differentiation difficult, particularly when users have been accustomed to one particular browser. The old joke that many users regard Edge as the thing they use to download Chrome still holds, judging by the market share figure
