StatCounter Global Stats

StatCounter Global Stats gets their statistics from the log files of the sites of its more than 3 million members, who uses StatCounter to analyze data about visitors to their web sites. There were 18 billion page views in January 2012. That's a lot of data!

The graph below shows that world-wide Chrome overtook Internet Explorer in May 2012, but in the USA the numbers are different.

W3School.com statistics - single site:

These statistics are only for visitors to the W3Schools site, which is a resource for people who are writing web pages. So the visitors to their pages are more likely to be in the "techie" group of browser users - and are probably picky about their browser, too! Quite a difference in which browsers are popular! What the 'techie' people favor tends to become popular with the general population after a while, but not always.

The site did not have charts, so I took the numbers from their site for May, 2012, and made a pie chart. Quite different from the pie chart for NetMarket Share!

	Internet Explorer	Firefox	Chrome	Safari	Opera
May 2012	18.1 %	35.2 %	39.3 %	4.3 %	2.2 %
Sept. 2011	22.9 %	39.7 %	30.5 %	4.0 %	2.2 %
Sept. 2010	31.1 %	45.1 %	17.3 %	3.7 %	2.2 %
