Those graphs are misleading. The first one visually indicates that Chrome currently has something like 100x the share of Firefox -- while the numbers indicate it's more like 3x.<p>You should at least have the base of the graphs at 0%. Probably even better to have to top line of the graphs at 100%. That'd give a truer visual representation of the data.
The stats are dramatically different for an enterprise focused website. As a counterexample, we show for our site:<p>IE (all versions) is 52% of visits in the last month.
IE 8.0 is 25% of IE traffic<p>For the same month in 2012, IE traffic was 62% of all visits, so we are showing drops as well, but not to the extent we can ignore the needs of our IE customers.<p>In short, know your customer.<p>I don't like IE, but we like our customers a lot more than I dislike IE.
It's kinda too bad in the case of IE. It has always been a sword in the side of every web developer that we must develop twice. Once regularly and again for IE. Recently I was pleasantly surprised to open up IE and not only did everything look correct and work, but everything worked faster.<p>Why didn't everyone switch away from IE ten years ago? That would have been so helpful. Now it doesn't matter.
One question I have in mind: Will Safari be able to keep up, or will Apple become complacent because they're satisfied with being the best option for OS X? (Which they can achieve by being insiders on that OS, and not by being more awesome.)
