Edge on Heels of Safari for Second Place in Desktop Browser Market.

Apple’s Safari browser may want to heed this bit of wisdom from Satchel Paige: “Don’t look back. Something may be gaining on you.” That something is Microsoft Edge.

According to the latest numbers from browser market watcher Statcounter, Edge, with a 9.54 percent global desktop market share, is breathing down the neck of Safari, which owns 9.84 percent of the browser pie.

However, both are far behind the market leader Google Chrome with its 65.38 market share.
