Moreover, significant portions of the code are used by several app frameworks. Microsoft Edge, Samsung Internet, Opera, and many other browsers are based on the Chromium code. This codebase provides the vast majority of code for the Google Chrome browser, which is proprietary software and has some additional features. com /chromium /srcĬ++ primarily, HTML, CSS, JavaScript for UI and test suite Ĭhromium is a free and open-source web browser project, mainly developed and maintained by Google. It goes without saying that most of those still running Internet Explorer will switch to Chromium sooner or later, and since Microsoft has been insisting on promoting Edge on all Windows versions, the total market share of this engine will set a new record in the coming months.įirefox remains the only popular alternative to the Chromium engine, and Mozilla had previously criticized Microsoft's decision to adopt Chromium in its Windows 10 browser.īut until now, that thought seems to have paid off, as the new Edge keeps gaining new users. In addition to 77 percent of the market share attributed to Chromium, no less than 5.18 percent of devices still rely on IE for browsing. Overall, more than 77 percent of desktop computers have Chromium-engine based browsers installed (this doesn't take into account the market share of Chromiums like Vivaldi, which NetMarketShare hasn't included in the new data). While both Chrome and Edge continue to gain market share, these numbers show that the Chromium engine is the first choice for a significant number of PC users (whether Windows, Linux or macOS). Mozilla Firefox is still considered to be the mainstream choice outside of Chromium, currently in third place with a 7.25 percent market share. The second place is Microsoft Edge, also based on the Chromium engine, which took a solid second place with 7.76 percent market share. Last month, Google Chrome ran on no less than 69.18 percent of all PCs, according to NetMarketShare.

It's no surprise that Google Chrome is the number one browser on both desktop and mobile, but a new set of data highlights the Chromium engine's overall dominance on the PC.
