Yep. Edge uses less ram than chrome and supports chrome extensions. Thanks for the reply. I was doing this poll for this forum not for generalWell @James,
Please enlighten us with you conclusions - I bet they bear no reality with "real world use". This is estimated market share for Jan 2022 to Jan 2023

It shows same as always - Chrome is still the major leader by a long way, Edge is ahead of the rest but still a long way to go.
If you go back a while, Firefox had a bigger share and IE was used. However Firefox is in decline and Edge will slowly increase as new users buy pcs and find built in Edge pretty much does all they need. Firefox will never get back to its peak.
Chrome will always be the leader - in part historical but also it syncs well with android devices (twice as many as Apples). The only reason I have it installed is now and then a site that was around in IE days refuses to play well with Edge (even in so called compatibility mode), and Chrome is usually fine.
The problem with polls like this on this type of forum, is you are asking a small but well informed section of the community who often try other things because they like to do so.
In the real world (ignoring Safari/Opera as not really Windows) the browser wars of a decade ago have long gone.
