Topic: Interesting browser stats

Data for the last month:

Browser	Visits	Percentage
Firefox	2,208	50.76%
Chrome	1,406	32.32%
Safari	453	10.41%
Internet Explorer	269	6.18%
Opera	10	0.23%
BlackBerry9630	1	0.02%
Camino	1	0.02%
Mozilla	1	0.02%
SeaMonkey	1	0.02%

Interesting to see Chrome surging and Opera falling.

I wonder what the default browser for the HTC Droid Incredible counts as.  I also recently installed the Dolphin browser on my mobile and have visited here with it.

This doesn't count people who use the NoScript add-on and don't allow Google Analytics to work.

I shifted to Chrome.. so that's my contribution.

I still use Firefox as my backup but the main reason it's taken a backseat is the loss of Xmarks. Chrome's internal bookmark sync is more reliable than Firefox Sync. Maybe Firefox 4 will change things.

I went back from Chrome to Firefox on the PC because using two browsers was slowing life down.

I also bet when I browse OW from my Galaxy S, it counts as Chrome.

Some of those linux stats are probably me. And some of the drop in Firefox is me running noscript.

Some of those IE stats are probably from me since that's all they have on the computers here at work (where I'm posting from now!).  I use Firefox at home though.

I'm probably the primary Mac user.  My work laptop is a MacBook Pro, though I use both it and my XP virtual machine to visit here.

I guess that I didn't get in the stats because I was blocking google-analytics with noscript and request policy.

For some reason this thread made me decide to switch to Chrome. Firefox has been slow for me lately. I like it far better than Firefox so far, the only real downside is the lack of extensions. I was happy to see that there is an adblock extension, and I just got a greasemonkey extension which made me really happy. Also I got a flash blocker but I haven't tested it out yet - I have a feeling that I will be a little disappointed after the greatness that was noscript.
