StatCounter Blasts Microsoft's Claim About IE Still Being the Number 1 Browser

Posted by Soulskill on from the browser-election-recount dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Do you remember when Microsoft tried to claim that Internet Explorer was still the most-used browser by accusing StatCounter of using a flawed methodology? Well, StatCounter has just posted a response that walks through a number of errors and omissions in Microsoft's reasoning. They (rather politely) explain the importance of sample size, discuss the value of page view counts versus unique visitor counts, and explain the difference between their methodology and that of Net Applications."

    Don't even bother with oakgrove, he's a Google fanboy through and through. That moron added me to his "foes" list because I called him out on his shit before.

    Test drove a few when I was looking for my last car. Didn't really care for it all that much. I went with the Saturn Aura XR though. No regrets at all. It's been a great machine aside from a minor leak in the water pump but was easily fixed at home for $120. Rides great, has great power, I average about 32 mpg when I am travelling between cities, 25ish around the city.
