The wikipedia article on browser share does a good job of illustrating the fact that nobody really has any idea what's going on:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers#Summary_table http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers#Sum...
At least we can conclude Chrome is probably somewhere between 19% and 35%.
- true_religion 14y agoI don't know why they even included NetApplications in the statistics---it seems far off from everyone elses counters.
- notatoad 14y agoEverybody knows what's going on. All you need to do to see the most relevant and accurate browser stats is to open up your own analytics panel. global browser stats are virtually useless. the only stats that matter are the stats that correspond to your audience. depending on location, interest, age, market, or any myriad other factors, your chrome usage could vary by a lot more than 19-35%.
- janzer 14y agoYes, most definitely this. For instance small niche site I run mostly dealing with females 30-60 years of age, Chrome has 17%, Safari 18%, Firefox 22% and IE 36%.
- azakai 14y agoThe chart there is somewhat misleading. It says "Usage share of desktop browsers" but NetApplications measures users, not usage. That by itself could explain most of the variation in the chart, and lead one to conclude that IE has lots of users, but some of them do little browsing (imagine a grandparent that checks email or their stocks once or twice a day) while Chrome has users that browse a lot. Which is more important? Depends what question you are asking.
