I don't know how NetMarketShare's stats are collected, but in StatCounter's ones, they count a lot of Firefox 40.something visits that are made worldwide by a bot. I know it because that bot was hammering my own website too.Night Wing wrote:Actually, FF hasn't been tanking. It has been on an uptick since it hit it's low of around 8% or slightly less. If I'm reading Net Market Share's browser percentage right on their new revamped website (and I don't like the look of the new revamped website), the browser that is tanking is Microsoft's Edge browser. Four months ago or there abouts (August of 2017) Edge hit it's high water market share of (5.66%). Now it looks like Edge has a 3.68% market share (November of 2017) and that means Edge has lost millions (or hundreds of millions) of users from four months ago.
I would like to see how Microsoft's CEO Nadella spins this debacle for Edge in a positive upbeat light.
Nowadays, because of all these bots, there are not reliable usage stats other than server logs manually filtered.
