Not unexpected; for a lot of us Chrome was a refreshing reboot of the browser after Firefox became a little on the bloated side.

Incidentally I suspect Firefox has gotten as high a market share as any browser other than IE will ever get.

I fully suspect that over time IE's share (the high %age of which is mostly down to the "monopoly" aspect) will continue to be eroded to level off in the 30-40 range whilst other browsers, rather than just one, will fill the gap.

Also; is the increased safari explained by iPhone usage? are they counting Mobile safari in the overall Safari stats?



On Kongregate at least the Safari growth is from the Mac, not iPhone.

And Chrome has taken share from both IE and Firefox on our site, but mostly from IE.

Safari Mac - 6.4%, up from 3.8% a year ago

Safari Win - 0.9%, up from 0.5%

Mac - 9.3%, up from 6.6%

iPhone - 0.4%, up from 0.3%


Wicked, actual data. Looks like I could be wrong then. (that's a huge jump for safari mac!)
