That's a lot more for Safari than I would've guessed.

Also, all of those BlackBerry page views are from me, I guarantee it.

Those look like mobile stats.

Safari is high because it's forced by Apple (inadequate API for 3rd party browsers).

Actually, those percentages are basically the same as Android (Chrome) vs iOS (Safari).

I use Firefox and like their add-ons. For whatever reason I've felt Chrome is too invasive. It tries to download or piggyback on other downloads for one thing.

Sometimes I'll use Edge as the way I've set up Firefox, it doesn't allow third party cookies.

Excuse my ignorance. These are CP stats?

Yeah that's the percentages for different browsers for CP over the last month. That would be both desktop and mobile (though not Tapatalk).

Chrome exclusively. Minus when I have to access my AHS payroll, they're stuck stuck stuck in the internet explorer ages and the portal won't open on anything but. Chrome follows me everywhere, on the work computers, my phone, my laptop, everything

Chrome, except for when watching Youtube. Then I use IE. I don't know why, but it seems to work better for me.

Huh? I've been using Chrome on Apple (desktop and iOS) since day one. I can probably count the times I've used Safari on one hand.

For those using chrome AND a 64bit processor, make sure you are using 64bit chrome...

That's what I use, including ABP, https everywhere and lastpass extensions.

I just checked an Firefox has a 64 bit version but it doesn't appear to be better.

In this test Google Chrome fails a couple of tests.

I've had Firefox for years and have so many customization's that I never wanted to do a full switch. It has some quirks now(like leaving weathernetwork.com open in a tab causes browser corruption, and twitter embedded images don't show up for some reason same on home and work PC). I also use Chrome occasionally because it is faster for Google maps. But I like all the privacy blockers I can get for Firefox. I just don't trust an add companies browser to protect me from themselves.

Corporate security from my workplace is removing Firefox from all machines due to vulnerabilities apparently.
