What is the browser usage like in Belgium? Google Chrome was the most used internet browser in Belgium in December 2021 with a market share of over 56 percent. This ranking consists of mobile, desktop, tablet as well as console browsers. This might explain the entries for some specific browsers, like Apple’s Safari (which is a desktop browser but comes pre-installed on iPhones) or Samsung Internet. The smartphone penetration in Flanders (the Dutch-speaking region of Belgium) was at 93 percent in 2020.
Internet access in Belgium is on the up…
In 2020, roughly 91 percent of Belgian households had access to the Internet. This was the exact same as the European average of 91 percent. Compared to other European countries, Belgium used to be considered below average when it comes to Internet access at home. This value increased in 2018, however, and has been increasing steadily in recent years.
… as well as mobile Internet use.
Communication and entertainment are popular ways for Belgians to spend time on the Internet. Facebook and Facebook Messenger ranked among the most cited apps that were used every day in Belgium in 2017. This is much the same for teenagers from Flanders, although they also mention Instagram, Snapchat and YouTube as their preferred smartphone apps.
