Market share numbers overly-specific

[edit source]

Hi @Pek, I believe having such specific numbers for the market share (at least in the introduction) is not helpful, especially given how much they change. I propose we go back to rounding to the nearest percent, and get rid of the ranges. The point is not to be hyper-specific, especially given how much it changes. The browser market share article can be visited if people want to get this specific. And comparing multiple sources isn't that helpful in my opinion. StatCounter appears to be the one that is usually used, e.g. on the market share article. But I figured I'd run this by you before I make the change.

Hey @MoonlitSpectre. Rounding sounds good. --Pek (talk) 15:46, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[]

Perfect, thank you! Looks great. MoonlitSpectre (talk) 21:59, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[]

Semi-protected edit request on 17 June 2026

[edit source]

👁 Image

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Web browser. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{subst:ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Change https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_browser#Privacy paragraph

From:

A study from 2020 portrays that there are two tiers of browsers in terms of privacy: the privacy-focused ones (Brave, DuckDuckGo, LibreWolf, Tor,Mullvad, Helium and Firefox-Focus) perform better than popular ones (Chrome, Firefox, and Safari) and recommend the first ones.[48] Blocking fingerprinting, cookies, tracking scripts, ads, etc. seems to explain that difference.[48]

To:

A 2023 CODASPY study[48] comparing several mobile browsers found that privacy-focused browsers such as Brave, DuckDuckGo, and Firefox Focus generally offered stronger protection against online tracking than mainstream browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. The difference was largely attributable to stronger default blocking of trackers, advertising resources, cookies, and some fingerprinting-related mechanisms.
