How come most Windows 10 users are still using Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera and Safari?

Heck, some are still even sticking to Internet Explorer.

Still using IE/Edge sometimes, when the main browser fail to load the important website without any good reason (Chrome/FFx), or don't want to waste my 4G quota(Chrome will restore previous browsing session, all tabs, it's annoying sometimes).

You can change this behaviour in Chrome 'Settings'.

Actually I didn't try using Edge at all.

The first thing I found out was that it has no add-ons or extensions like Adblock Plus and Avira Browser Safety.

I just use back my trusty Chrome after the upgrade. smile.gif

Microsoft is using a new tactic to keep Windows 10 users from switching away from its Edge browser.

The first time Edge users search for “chrome” or “firefox” using Bing — presumably with the intent of
downloading those browsers from Google or Mozilla, respectively — they are shown a serious-looking
message at the top of the search results.
