Recently, Microsoft published a series of usage statistics regarding the Edge browser over the past year on its official blog, attracting widespread attention. According to the data, Edge users have completed over ten billion AI chats this year, indicating the deep integration of artificial intelligence technology into everyday web browsing.
In addition to AI chat, Edge has demonstrated its powerful features in other areas. The data shows that users have achieved automatic translation of 38 trillion words through the browser, greatly facilitating cross-language communication. Meanwhile, the sleeping tabs feature effectively saved about 70 trillion MB of memory, enhancing the browser's operational efficiency. Furthermore, users browse over 800 million articles daily on the MSN platform, highlighting Edge's advantages in information retrieval.
In terms of information sharing, Edge's Drop feature allows users to share 46 million messages and files across devices, making collaboration between different devices much more convenient. At the same time, the number of daily active users of the Bing search engine has exceeded 140 million, showcasing Microsoft's strong influence in the search market. The mobile app has also excelled in user privacy protection, successfully blocking over 18 trillion tracking programs.
Additionally, Microsoft's Password Monitor feature protects over 7.3 billion passwords every month, providing significant security for users' online safety. In terms of preventing online threats, the Edge browser has also performed well, blocking over 1.4 billion phishing attacks to protect users' information security.
However, despite Edge's positive achievements in various areas, its market share growth has been relatively slow. According to Statcounter data, Edge's market share increased from 11.9% in December 2023 to 12.87% in November 2024, with a growth of less than 1%. In comparison, the Chrome browser continues to dominate the market, with its share rising from 65.23% during the same period to 66.33%.
Key Points:
🌐 Over ten billion AI chats, demonstrating widespread application of technology.
📊 Slight increase in Edge browser market share, still needs to improve competitiveness.
🔒 User information security is ensured, with significant effectiveness in password monitoring and phishing attack prevention.
