Market Share for Desktop Operating Systems
As far as operating systems are concerned, Windows 10 is the leader in the market share with 57.34% of the total market share. On the second place is many people’s favorite Windows 7 which holds 26.23% of the market share and is followed by Windows 8.1 for the third place and holds 3.69% of the market share. On the fourth place is macOS X 10.14 that holds 2.62% of the market share. Data suggests that Windows 7 gained some market share recently for the first time in months, well one of the reasons for this can be people switching to their older PCs amid lockdown because of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Mozilla is facing tough competition not only from Chrome and Edge but, also from Opera and Safari too. Mozilla needs a little bit of work to make the browser easier and consumer-friendly and it will regain its popularity.
