Thanks Statcounter,
There are so many comments above me that I’m afraid that you may not read this one, but if you do, may we please see some updated browser statistics? You guys are my only source for these kind of numbers and I would love to see them.
Thanks,
Paul
Google rocks!
safari and firefox down Google can do everything on internet.
I was under the impression that it will be Chrome Vs. Microsoft but right now its like Chrome Vs. FireFox. FireFox has added lot of feature with its third version but there will be tuff fight. Ultimately it will be fight between Microsoft Vs. Chrome.

IE is the giant is only because of it’s OS, Windows, in my point of view.
Somemore alots of less tech-savvy or less internet-savvy users don’t know about other browsers. There are also alots of people are already so used to IE that they don’t wish to change their browsers.
I believe very soon, market share will be taken away from IE in time to come by other browsers. Firefox and Google Chrome is the two that Microsoft need to worry about. And for their OS, they must keep a lookout for MAC OS. Microsoft must be on their toes and be more proactive in the market.

As shown on the link http://blog.statcounter.com/2008/06/stout-performance-by-ff3/ the popularity of this question is quite high. I wonder why firefox can be so much better, when it’s made by google, yet internet explorer is by the company that makes the windows system?

Great post ! I want to know when you update your blog, where can i subscribe to your blog?
I think Chrome will gain a better share of the market as time goes on since Google will be able to promote it among their marketing programs.
doesn’t surprise me

It’s true what has been said above, that the majority of people believe that the only way of getting onto the internet is by clicking the big blue icon!
I liked Chrome at first, as it has a slightly larger viewing area than Mozilla, but removed Chrome because of the constant cruching of my hardrive…are Google collecting ALL my data?
Hello,
How exactly are Safari users switching to Chrome when Chrome is not even available for Mac OS X? That is absolutely no way you can make that conclusion.
Thank you

cool browser is google chrome
nice site by the way!
Not a surprise that Firefox is the loser, but they will not lose me right now.
I’m still using Chrome and my novelty threshold is normally really low!!
Not suprising that firefox is losing to IE. I was actually thinking that Firefox will be the biggest loser. I tested Crome and it look dosent looked finished, obviously there is much more to come.
I use Chrome almost exclusively now, unless there is something that will not display then I revert back to Firefox. Do miss my Google toolbar though!
