As of December 2021, Google Chrome accounted for 66.6 percent of the global desktop internet browser market share. Around half of the world’s population uses the internet on a regular basis, and web browsers serve as the channel through which users from across the globe access the internet each day.
Web browsers provide users with an integral digital service, but recent data leaks have alerted users to the pitfalls of putting too much personal data online. A great number of people are becoming aware of and concerned about their online privacy, meaning that web browser developers must prove themselves capable of protecting information if they hope to receive the continued loyalty of their users.
