A Statistical Review of 1 Billion Web Pages

chrisd writes "As part of a recent examination of the most popular html authoring techniques, my colleague Ian Hickson parsed through a billion web pages from the Google repository to find out what are the most popular class names, elements, attributes, and related metadata. We decided that to publish this would be of significant utility to developers. It's also a fascinating look into how people create web pages. For instance one thing that surprised me was that the <title> is more popular than <br>. The graphs in the report require a browser with SVG and CSS support (like Firefox 1.5!). Enjoy!"

    What I mean by spreading FUD is that your comment implies that Firefox's support for SVG is not as good as Seamonkey's, when it is in fact exactly the same. Also, I'm not trying to start a Seamonkey vs. Firefox flamewar here.
