I use Firefox because while Microsoft, Google, Facebook and other giants are working hard to take ownership of the Internet, Mozilla works to keep the web open and free.

I have a small SAS project, and I am sad that just 2% of my users use Firefox, while 80% of them uses Google Chrome.



How do you gather those analytics on browser usage? An outstanding number of Firefox users block analytics, so that may introduce a bias into those figures.


Not OP but a statistically significant method of measuring browser marketshare is by looking at User agent on web server logs.


They may block analytics, but how many of them are spoofing their User-Agent string?

You can get a lot of analytics just by looking at the web request. If someone came from Google, the Referrer header will show what their search terms were.
