Here are my numbers Chrome - 63.1% Firefox - 21.1% IE - 7.1% These are heavily biased towards young (13-25) Windows users who play games. I've noticed the massive dominance of Chrome for some time, but the numbers are not clear enough to show a rise or fall in its use over time.

  Chrome certainly used to feel snappier with JS, which probably attracts the gamers.

    Not sure why I got a down vote for this. Probably as it's anecdotal? What I should have said: from my experience Chrome feels snappier with Javascript performance at least while playing typeracer. And I read into that, that JS games perform better under Chrome.

      I wouldn't worry about random downvotes, no karma system works. 'snappiness' is a potential driving factor for Chrome use. I'll try and do some research on users at some point.

According to the page you linked, the difference is because NetApplication uses unique daily users instead of page hits. NetApplications also uses some different weighting per country. StatCounter also use a much larger sample, 3 million websites vs 40k. I would guess, this means there are still more people using IE, but those using Chrome use the internet more often? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers#Differences_in_measurement http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers#Dif...

Also worth mentioning: W3Schools since their user-base is mostly technical (web developers). http://w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp http://w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp

I always find Net Applications' market share numbers misleading and inaccurate. Whatever method they are using for measuring market share, I'm sure it's flawed.

Mediawiki is by far the most accurate representation. Wikipedia is on the top of most searches, and targets most demographics.
