Edge's share of Windows 10 browsers continues slide

Microsoft's Edge browser has slipped to its smallest-ever percentage of Windows 10 in the U.S., according to data from a consortium of government websites.

Edge, the default browser in Windows 10, was used by 22.1% of those running the new operating system in April, data from the Digital Analytics Program (DAP) showed. DAP tallies visits to more than 4,000 websites on over 400 different domains maintained by U.S. government agencies. The traffic predominantly originates in the U.S., although between 10% and 15% of visitors access the sites from overseas.

DAP's April measurement of Edge's portion of Windows 10 was the smallest since the operating system's release in July 2015, falling below the former low-end mark of 22.4% set in November.
