According to market research firm NetMarketShare  Release & have spent According to the latest data, in June 2020, the market share of the desktop Chrome browser exceeded 70%, reaching 70.19%.

Chrome's market share has fluctuated up and down repeatedly, reaching as close as 70 per cent at one point and falling for months. This is the first time it has actually crossed 70%. In doing so, Chrome, or Chromium, solidifies the dominance of the browser market. After all, the Egde browser, now the no. 2 browser, also has chromium hanging from the kernel.

Microsoft's Edge browser also gained slightly in June, with its market share rising to 8.07% from 7.86%. The new Edge has been growing since its release in January and even overtook Firefox in March. At this rate, a breakthrough of 10 per cent may be just around the corner -- no browser has had more than 10 per cent of the market for a long time under the yoke of Chrome, the dominant browser.

In the latest major update, Microsoft has automatically pushed a new version of Its Edge browser to Windows 10 users, replacing the older version and not uninstalling it. As Windows 10 gains market share and users grow, the effect of this forced browser installation may show up in subsequent market surveys.

At the same time, the Linux operating system continues to gain market share, based on these two months of data. While no release date has been set, Edge for Linux should attract a new set of users.

Firefox, on the other hand, does not take an active role, following a new release cycle and focusing on its own four-week big release update, which was announced two days ago. Firefox 78 & have spent Version. In June, Firefox, which had lost market share after being overtaken by Edge, finally rebounded to 7.58%, the highest share since February.

According to rhythm, mainstream browsers like Google and Firefox are still firmly in the market share, while the privacy protection browsers represented by Brave are popular in the encryption field, but still cannot penetrate into the mass market, and face great challenges in popularity and application.

On the other hand, the concept of decentralized browser launch for a long time, but not completely which can realize the concept of the browser, after cooked up by Etherscan decentralized network search engine BlockScan hosted in IPFS, each web page by the multiple nodes connected to the network (computer) hash stored, similar to the seed file, but the site itself still USES a centralized processor. There is still a long way to go before decentralized applications can be developed and popularized.
