This graph is about a month old at this point, it should update with the newest stats tomorrow. Until then, you can see the day-by-day stats for the past month here:<p><a href="http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser-ww-daily-20120531-20120629" rel="nofollow">http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser-ww-daily-20120531-2012062...</a><p>Here's another good one that splits the IE line into IE 6/7/8 lines, and the Firefox line into 3.6/4/5+ lines:<p><a href="http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser_version_partially_combined-ww-daily-20120531-20120629" rel="nofollow">http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser_version_partially_combine...</a><p>Also be sure to check out the plurality-browser-share-by-country view via the world map:<p><a href="http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser-ww-daily-20120531-20120629-map" rel="nofollow">http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser-ww-daily-20120531-2012062...</a><p>Granted, it's hard to know who to trust regarding browser market share stats. But more data points are always useful.
Akamai just recently released their statistics, which shows a completely different picture: <a href="http://www.akamai.com/io" rel="nofollow">http://www.akamai.com/io</a>
Glad to see that the top three browsers use different rendering engines. Long live diversity.<p>Edit: in the hope of good css/html5 conformance / no browser specific programming like in the old days
It might be noteworthy that Google said so as well on Google I/O.<p>Of course, they are not the most objective source, but they do have the whole Google Analytics dataset.<p>(GA runs on about 55% of all websites: <a href="http://w3techs.com/technologies/overview/traffic_analysis/all" rel="nofollow">http://w3techs.com/technologies/overview/traffic_analysis/al...</a>)
In both the US and China, IE is far ahead. But look at this Indian usage graph:<p><a href="http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser-IN-monthly-201105-201205" rel="nofollow">http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser-IN-monthly-201105-201205</a>
What's most interesting to me is that my biggest markets (North America, English-speaking Europe, and Australia) are all still IE strongholds.<p><a href="http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser-ww-monthly-201203-201205-map" rel="nofollow">http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser-ww-monthly-201203-201205-...</a>
Poking around by individual country the only large one I found where Chrome leads is India. Anyone have sauce on why Chrome is so popular there? Are they big enough to skew the whole world?
According to Google Analytics for my web site (postjobfree.com), top 10 browsers in the last 30 days:<p>1. Internet Explorer - 40.02%<p>2. Chrome - 21.33%<p>3. Firefox - 19.99%<p>4. Safari - 11.80%<p>5. Android Browser - 3.74%<p>6. Mozilla Compatible Agent - 1.33%<p>7. Opera Mini - 0.70%<p>8. Opera - 0.54%<p>9. IE with Chrome Frame - 0.21%<p>10. BlackBerry8530 - 0.03%<p>So it's not as rosy yet as we'd like.
Hasn't this been debunked? <a href="http://windowsteamblog.com/ie/b/ie/archive/2012/03/18/understanding-browser-usage-share-data.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://windowsteamblog.com/ie/b/ie/archive/2012/03/18/unders...</a>
