A well thought-out mobile strategy needs to take into account many characteristics of mobile users’ behaviour.
With some analysis of mobile traffic from websites powered by DeviceAtlas, we can shed some light on the most popular mobile browsers in the largest markets.
An effective mobile strategy starts with traffic analytics
The first step when creating a mobile strategy is understanding your existing and future mobile traffic. It's particularly important before approaching a new market, given different characteristics across countries and territories.
DeviceAtlas’ Data Explorer can provide you with insights into mobile users’ behaviour in countries across the world.
Safari and Chrome lead the way
The two most popular mobile browsers across the globe are Safari and Chrome, by some distance. The below chart shows just how big the gap is (via Statcounter):
- Safari ranks first in the US, Japan, Canada, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Singapore.
- Every other country in our list of 36 features Chrome as the most popular mobile browser.
The Chrome v Safari trend closely follows that of Android v iOS. However, choice of OS isn't the only factor. For example Chrome for Mobile is officially available for both Android and iOS devices, whereas an Android user looking to use Safari is out of luck.
The following charts are based on mobile web traffic (excluding tablet) in 2025 to a global network of partner websites using the DeviceAtlas device detection platform.
