Encyclopedia > Usage share of web browsers
The usage share of web browsers described in this chart. Source from Net Applications[1]      Internet Explorer (73.81%)      Mozilla Firefox (18.43%)      Safari (6.14%)      Opera (0.71%)      Netscape (0.62%)      Other (0.29%)
The usage share of web browsers described in this chart. Source from W3Counter[2]      Internet Explorer (61.43%)      Mozilla Firefox (29.02%)      Safari (2.02%)      Opera (1.13%)      Other (6.4%)

Usage share, in web browser statistics, is the percentage of visitors to a group of web sites that use a particular browser. For example, when it is said that Internet Explorer has 76% usage share, it means Internet Explorer is used by 76%[3] of visitors that visit a given set of sites. Typically, the user agent string is used to identify which browser a visitor is using. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Overestimation and underestimation

Note that measuring browser usage in terms of the number of requests (page hits) made by each user agent can be misleading. Not all requests are generated by a user, as a user agent can make requests at regular time intervals without user input. In this case, the usage of that user agent would then be overestimated. Some examples: A user agent is the client application used with a particular network protocol; the phrase is most commonly used in reference to those which access the World Wide Web. ...

  • A web browser that refreshes the webpage at a regular time interval.
  • Most browsers generate additional page hits by refreshing webpages when user navigates back through page history, few browsers (like Opera) reuse cached content without resending requests to server.
  • A feed reader that requests the RSS or Atom feed at a regular time interval.
  • Extra files like CSS hacks and JavaScript hacks are often sent to Internet Explorer.
  • Gecko-based browsers (such as Firefox) can link prefetch web pages, increasing hits. Link prefetching in Gecko-based browsers is used on pages with enhanced markup, including Google search results.[4]
  • A user who revisits a site shortly after changing or upgrading browsers may be double-counted under some methodologies; overall numbers at the time of a new version's release may be skewed.[5]

It is also possible to underestimate the usage share by using the number of requests, for example: A webpage or web page is a page of the World Wide Web, usually in HTML/XHTML format (the file extensions are typically htm or html) and with hypertext links to enable navigation from one page or section to another. ...

A specialized markup language using SGML is used to write the electronic version of the Oxford English Dictionary. ...

  • A graphical browser typically results in more hits than a text browser, as it downloads files referred to by the HTML document (e.g., image, CSS, and JavaScript).
  • Many browsers and download managers spoof a different user agent string to the web server to prevent erroneous or malicious browser sniffing which could result in receiving broken or incompatible code, or being completely blocked, and thus increasing the statistics for other browsers (as an example, prior to version 9, the Opera web browser had "Identify as Internet Explorer" as the default user setting)
  • Most recent browsers block third-party spyware.
  • Text-based and audio-based browsers do not download any webbugs at all.
  • Privacy-enhancing proxies like privoxy are getting widely deployed by security-conscious system administrators.[citation needed]
  • Gecko-based browsers since Firefox 1.5 and Opera uses fast Document Object Model (DOM) caching. JavaScript is only executed on pageload from net or disk cache, but not if it is loaded from DOM cache. This can have an impact on JavaScript based tracking of browser statistics.[3]
  • Firefox blocked Alexa toolbars from its extension page for quite some time, this makes the estimates of Net Applications inaccurate.
  • Ad filtering is popular through methods such as the Firefox extension Adblock.

A more accurate estimate of the number individual people visiting a web site can be made by considering unique IP address and cookies in addition to page hits.
