Stats on browser use – Chrome winning

I’m doing some research on stats regarding browser usage in Africa and came across an excellent resource site http://gs.statcounter.com/

When we build Public facing sites on SharePoint or any other platform out there these stats show us on which browsers to focus as we move into Africa without losing focus on what’s the South African usage trend.

There stats are clearly showing Chrome gaining market share.

Then look at Africa, clearly showing IE losing market share everywhere…

Except in South Africa.. the landscape is still a Strong IE landscape.. but declining

Use these stats and play around to find out where to focus your compatibility requirements.

Business users should also be made aware of the trends and options available and not just

require compatibility across all browsers since this could limit latest technology inclusion & rollout on your websites.
