I know Chrome is only little over a year old, but was surprised as I've never seen it or Safari (WebKit browsers) ever have trouble with a page before.
- adamhowell 17y agoThe chart you cited also has IE 6+7+8 market share at only 38%, that's highly inaccurate. IE is more like 60%-65%+ and Chrome is more like 2-3% (http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser-ww-daily-20090801-20090829 http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser-ww-daily-20090801-2009082...).
- mbrubeck 17y agoThe axiis chart is based on traffic from w3schools.com: http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp That's a site for an audience of web developers, so of course it's different from a general-interest site. But 24ways.org is also for web developers, so it's probably a useful piece of input in this case. (As an aside, scrolling is perfectly smooth for me, in the latest Chrome beta on Linux.)
- adamhowell 17y agoIf that's what you were originally intending something like "Chrome is 7% of the [web developer] market" would be a little more accurate. Anyway, I was just having some fun, 24ways is a side-project for Drew, so maybe drop him a note and let him know it looks off in Chrome and I'm sure he'll try and find the time to fix it.
- rimantas 17y agoAccording to statistics an average american has one breast and one testicle. The chart mcormier cited is for w3schools.com There is nothing surprising that or pretty much any webdevs-oriented site has a low share of IE. Browser stats for two websites can vary wildly depending on the site itself, and even country. For example Opera is very popular in Russia—27% (http://www.rankingru.com/en/rankings/web-browsers-groups.html http://www.rankingru.com/en/rankings/web-browsers-groups.htm... ) and Ukraine where it tops the browsers chart: http://www.ranking.com.ua/en/rankings/web-browsers-groups.html http://www.ranking.com.ua/en/rankings/web-browsers-groups.ht... .
