Only 20% of mobile web traffic comes from ASOP browser.

That's because most web traffic comes from iOS. AOSP Browser represents about half of the Android traffic.

  Well, not everywhere. Here in Brazil, Androids have the (by a huge margin) biggest share of the market and of the mobile traffic.

    They are clearly talking about normalized global metrics. Obviously things aren't the same everywhere...

That's 1 in 5 mobile users! How can you argue that 20% is small?

  > How can you argue that 20% is small? where did they argue that? They were just correcting the 90% claim above.

    "90% of phones" and "20% of Web traffic" are two different claims; there is no correction.

This just keeps getting better. "Only 20% of mobile web traffic", wow.

According to these people, Chrome and Safari also have ~20% each. http://gs.statcounter.com/#mobile_browser-ww-monthly-201308-201408 http://gs.statcounter.com/#mobile_browser-ww-monthly-201308-...

Back in my times browsers would kill for a 20% market share...

  both are chrome. just different versions. google ridicules microsoft with IE6, and the first offline platform they release they made the exact same mistake! bundle a integrated browser just so the use cant uninstall... and decide to not patch it.

    not the exact same mistake, as you can install chrome...and now those can at least be disabled. Un-installable system apps...another place where the microsoft and apple default is a mistake.

      I fail to understand your point. you can also install browsers on windows that ship with IE6. your other arguments, maybe on your fancy phone. 99% of the phones still stuck on 2.3.3 or older, you - can't disable system apps - can't uninstall system apps - usually have 60mb or less for apps. - can use the SD card for apps. that leaves ANY browser out of the option. chrome and firefox, both install on around 20 to 40mb... and then consumes an additional (non-configurable) 100+mb of cache on the app data partition. leaving any older phone crippled (you can't fetch background data when the low storage space warning is showing).
