FWIW also:

Browser usage on Mibbit main client (Snapshot):

  FX3: 65%
  Chrome: 12%
  IE8: 7%
  IE7: 6%
  Opera: 3%
  IE6: 3%
  Safari: 3%
  FX2: 1%
Chrome has really grown at an astounding rate in the webapp usage world at any rate.


We're getting 9.4% on our sci-fi game. Geeks do love Chrome.


I'm a Chrome loving geek, but I'm far outnumbered by the non-technical, non-geeks that I've converted to Chrome based on its superior security and stability.

Among my friends, that's step 1 when you get roped into doing family tech support anymore: remove the IE shortcuts, install Chrome. Only sometimes changing the chrome shortcut to the IE icon...


Even my mum uses Chrome now :/ I think it's going to be more mainstream than firefox in the end.

Thanks, that's really interesting.

I have been playing with web workers (http://github.com/revis/Really-Cloudy) and one thing that worried me was the number of people with capable browsers. From your data it looks like that isn't a problem for technical audiences.


I'm so happy to see FX3 at 65% and less domination of IE :)

Atleast some webapp makers and users don't care about IE.
