Browser Market Shares - 4 views

  •  
    anyqs How did they calculate the percentage? As far as I know there is no accurate way to determine exactly the percentage the market share of browser. So, I want to know their standards on their way of counting. Besides that, what does the empty space represent? Moreover, do they include all kinds of devices (laptop, phones, TVs, desktop, ...etc) or just laptops? And if so, how did they distinguish between them in their study? :)

    I'd like to imagine that mobile browsing was done mainly on iPhones as at 2009, the latest date on the graph. Did that contribute to Safari's market share? If it did, were other mobile browsers counted as well? Also, how exactly is the data gathered? It mentions w3schools, the web consortium, but doesn't mention how they (w3schools) get their data or from whom, and what kinds of devices are polled.

    anyqs I would like to see the more information on how they collected this data and what it applies to. As James said, mobile browsers are distinguishable from others (from something called the User Agent in the browser), but I could go into my Opera browser on my Android and change the User Agent to 'desktop' and trick the website into thinking that a desktop viewed it. I would imagine that if w3 were to pull from their website, it would be heavily biased towards non-mobile browsers, as people would prefer to learn on a more comfortable screen.

    A cool interactive thing about the history of web browsers.  This sort of thing is obviously too complicated to do on our presentations, but it's a cool design and several salient design features can be gleaned from it.
