- Torn 17y agoTip: you can click on the legend to show/hide various browsers. Bonus: Chart just firefox and IEs --- the image looks like the FireFox logo :) http://imgur.com/mldh8.png http://imgur.com/mldh8.png
- brazzy 17y agoCool Visualization indeed. Completely useless, but cool.
- philfreo 17y agoThis data is also based on visitors to w3schools.com, which certainly isn't a typical demographic of US or world visitors.
- kgosser 17y agoIt goes to show how stubborn IE6 is at dying. Corporate lock-in for the win! http://reason.com/archives/1996/06/01/typing-errors http://reason.com/archives/1996/06/01/typing-errors
- jqueryin 17y agoIs it just me or does it look an awful lot like the firefox logo?
- tjic 17y agoI see it. Interesting ... I wonder if that's an intentional Easter egg?
- harpastum 17y agoThere's the blog post that goes along with the visualization [1] (although the server appears to be pretty slow right now). It's not so much about the data, but how the graphing framework itself works. Pretty interesting stuff.

- dmnd 17y agoAnd still none of those browsers can display this visualisation without a plugin.
- tjic 17y agoIt's a bar graph with a distort applied to it. The side effect of that is that it improperly scales the newer data vs. the older data, conflating graphic design and data representation (introducing bogus data).
- Retric 17y agoYes, it's suposed to look like the Firefox logo.
- Mz 17y agoIf you hover over a given line, it gives month, year, and percentage.
