The failure of Microsoft's Edge to attract users of the new Windows 10 operating system has contributed to the company's overall decline in browser share, analysis of recently-published data shows.
According to several metrics sources, Edge's share of the global Windows 10 user base was significantly lower in January than was Internet Explorer's (IE) share of all Windows users, signaling that Microsoft has not been able to maintain the historical -- or even current -- percentages of Windows customers on its newest browser.
Last month, Edge's share of all Windows 10 users was 26% in U.S.-based analytics firm Net Applications' estimate. That was a decrease of two percentage points from December, and 10 points lower than in September.
