On: Peak Chrome? Google's browser falls as Firefox, Internet Explorer stay flat

Indeed. As a point to back this up, 97% of our 80,000,000 daily hits are internet explorer 7-10.

This confirms is that browser statistics are rubbish!

This mostly confirms that browser statistics vary by region, audience, sites sampled, etc.

That being said, I'd guess if we sampled Facebook and Google (+ regionally strong competitors, e.g. Baidu) we could get a quite accurate sample of the general web population ;-)

Why not Wikipedia? It seems to me to be the best source of data, in terms of 'a general site everybody visits'.

I'm wondering what the demographics of wikipedia is though - I'd not be surprised if it's biased towards students and tech people. I know for sure the rest of my family does in no way visit wikipedia as much as me and my co-workers.

That's the reason why I left it out of that list. I initially was going to mention it :-)
