Browsers most used worldwide

The choice of web browser has a direct impact on web design. Any professional website must ensure optimal display regardless of the browser the user chooses. Therefore, it is essential to stay informed about the most widely used browsers.

According to Statista, as of August 2024, Google Chrome solidified its leadership as the most widely used web browser globally, with a market share exceeding 65%. It is followed by Apple Safari, with approximately 18.6% market share. Other browsers, such as Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox, maintain a market share below 5%.

For mobile devices, the trend is similar. Google Chrome and Safari dominate the market, making them the preferred browsers for most users. This preference directly impacts design and development decisions, as ensuring compatibility and optimal performance on these dominant browsers is essential.

It is important to highlight that, although browsers like Opera and Firefox have smaller market shares, they still retain a loyal user base. Therefore, it is recommended not to overlook compatibility with these browsers to provide a consistent and satisfying user experience.

At La Teva Web, when we develop new web projects, we always test them on the main browsers and device types before launching them into production. This process ensures that our websites display and function correctly in any environment, delivering an optimal experience to all users.

In summary, staying up-to-date on browser usage trends is crucial for web development. Ensuring compatibility and performance on the most used browsers guarantees that websites effectively reach their target audience, providing an optimal user experience.
