But Chrome is only the default browser on Android. Anyone else aggressively non-technical should be using their own default browser, likely Edge … since Windows comes on their computer and Edge comes with Windows.
Default on the phone is the only thing that really matters anymore because literally everyone has a phone, usually multiple, and only half those people have a laptop or desktop. That’s why in this graph Safari is in second place even though Windows cleans Apple’s clock on desktop and laptop installations.
But I am surprised more people haven’t jumped ship - off any Chromium browser, really. Once they really kill ublock give it a year or two before advertisers manage to do what they always fucking do - annoy the dogshit out of everybody - and you’ll see people switching.
I honestly don’t understand how anybody does things on a phone. For me, using any website on my phone is something reserved only for emergencies, when nothing else is possible.
In my experience, some non technical people often picked up the idea that “chrome is good” and they’ll manage to install it.
So I guess you’re right - the bottom tier sticks completely with the defaults, but there’s a sizable 2nd tier that picked up the idea that chrome is good, and not much else.
Seriously, who is still using Chrome?
Many people are aggressively non-technical.
This is the most succinct and level-headed way to talk about this group that I have seen. Gonna have to start using it.

Edge is a Chromium-based browser.
There are only 3 “internet browsers” in the world and every thing out there is a variant of them. CHROME, FIREFOX, and SAFARI

Dude, Chrome has 73% of market share worldwide. 3 out of every 4 people are using Chrome. Sad to say: a lot.

I’d be fine if Firefox had slightly higher market share but selfishly I confess I’m happy being in the small minority who block ads.
If blocking ads was majority behaviour, corporations would fight against it way harder than they do today.
Internet Explorer had that too at one time.
Oh I’d love to see it drop the way IE did, but asking who uses it like it’s a niche product is just ignorant.
Ugh why is time on that bar graph decreasing as you move to the right?
