I get a feeling that we've seen peak Firefox a year or two ago.

Chrome is by far the best browser imo. I am surprised it has taken so long to get here to be honest. I guess people are just too lazy to switch sometimes.

While I agree with you. Chrome still gives me the 'Aww Snap' error page a little too frequently for my liking.

I'm curious about the small dips you can see in the long term view of Firefox's browser share.

They all seem to match up exactly with a bump in one of the other browsers' share (mostly IE or Chrome). Is this because Firefox users are prone to temporarily switch to another browser and back again whenever a new version is released?

Measuring browser market share is hard. I think it's just as likely fluctuations in measurement.

There are interesting differences between the continents (probably even greater differences between countries, too):

* Firefox is No 1 (tied or otherwise) in Africa and Europe, and second in North America

* Chrome is safely in second in Asia, and miles ahead even IE in South America.

Personally, I very much prefer Firefox.

The stat that I thought was more interesting was that iPad Safari usage has passed IE6 in North America.

In Australia I have seen that out of businesses, home users, and college students Chrome is the most popular, IE is second, and Safari is third (and fourth for iOS). I haven't seen Firefox on a computer except my own laptop for quite a few years. It's interesting to see how different reality is to my own observations.
