   I think the great majority of Windows users have only one browser   
   installed--the one that comes with Windows (Edge, or  IE in older   
   versions). Most of them probably don't even know that there are other   
   browsers to choose from. My wife, for example, has only Edge   
   installed, and I know many other such people.   
      
   If you don't count Edge, which I only use when Firefox doesn't work on   
   a particular web page, I have only Firefox installed.   
      
   Thinking of all my friends and relatives who use Windows,  as far as I   
   know, they all have only Edge installed. I know that there are those   
   on these newsgroups with more than one, but having more than one never   
   makes sense to me. I pick the one I like best and that's what I use   
   all the time (almost all the time). I don't want any others.
