And nobody knows how that’s calculated. If the implementation is done via JS we can assume a good portion of all the browsers usage % is incorrect.

- leeoniya 8y agohere are some actual metrics from our ecommerce site (US, home remodeling / DIY): if you look at desktop traffic only: Nov 2015: 16.01% Nov 2016: 13.27% Nov 2017: 10.33% Nov 2018: 8.14% Desktop IE in Nov 2018 was 11.37%, Edge 15.65%, Chrome 52.74% and Safari 11.65%. if you include mobile traffic (where Firefox is basically non-existent), then Nov 2018 is closer to 3.5%. talk about bleak :(
- fabrice_d 8y agoThe absolute number is not that important, the trend is. That's clear even in Mozilla's own data: https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/user-activity https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/user-activity shows they went from 303M monthly active users at the end of Nov. 2017 to 277M this year. This is a serious drop.
- ngokevin 8y agoEven greater in the US, from 50M to 40M.
- nerdbaggy 8y agoNot sure if I trust these metrics They say: "...widely distributed over thousands of websites." https://netmarketshare.com/methodology https://netmarketshare.com/methodology Looking at netmarkshet website and web requests it seems this pulls from gator.io for metrics. Looks like 3k-4k websites have this data which lines up with the previous statment. https://publicwww.com/websites/%22gator.io%22/ https://publicwww.com/websites/%22gator.io%22/
- ngokevin 8y agoHe linked to Mozilla’s own public data set though. I think other data sets corroborate decline. The 9% might even be optimistic.
