This doesn't seem to be the case? I visited NetMarketShare myself, and showed the market share stats for all browsers, excluding bots/spiders. It then shows Chrome > Safari > Firefox > IE11 > Edge.

Pardon the large, ugly URL, but this is the filter I used:

https://netmarketshare.com/?options=%7B%22filter%22%3A%7B%22...

Edit: I see now that softpedia is talking about desktop browsers only. Even then, Edge is in fourth place.

https://netmarketshare.com/?options=%7B%22filter%22%3A%7B%22...

Edit #2: forthefuture found the filter they're using, so you can disregard the above.
