Question

I would like to determine which is the most popular browser for OSX, and what the percentages are. I know the 3 most popular browser are most likely Safari, Chrome, and Firefox. I would like to know (roughly) the usage statistics for each browser FOR OSX ONLY. This doesn't seem to be as easy to find as I thought it would be.

Several articles I have read have pointed to sites such as: w3schools. However w3schools (I know they have statistics that shouldn't be trusted but I am just using it as an example since it shows near the top of the Google search), and other sites I have tried, simply show overall usage, not usage by browser, which is what I am looking for.

Even articles on Stack Exchange that I have read do not provide a clear answer: Popular browsers on the Mac & is it possible to get browser marketshare by OS? ...

Any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Was it helpful?

Solution

So finally over a week later, I found a rough answer to my question, in case it helps anyone else out.

I found a CNET article dated Sept 26, 2012 which states:

"Safari... is used by 85 percent of the folks running that operating system. Chrome... took 3 percent of the iOS market. All other browsers, including Dolphin and Atomic, combined for 11.9 percent share."
