Since 2010, no single browser has gained more than two thirds of global market share anymore

Pretty sure Chrome did. Or WebKit/Blink family. This is GOOD imho.

Unfortunately, "pretty sure" is not the way sound arguments are made ;-) Evidence is: https://netmarketshare.com/browser-market-share.aspx?options... and http://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share#monthly-20171...

Such a centralization comes with the risk of websites only working with one browser, forcing people to chose a certain device, operating system, and browser vendor.
