Hacker News Reader

It's about 24% Chrome for my blog, which I imagine is a pretty similar audience for HN.

Chrome is outstanding. Blazing fast, instant boot, never crashes. Firefox was a slow hog for me.

What I want to know is-- How many people who work at Mozilla believe that Firefox is a better browser? How many of 'em use Chrome at home?

For the few times I have Chrome crashing, it is due to Flash... But even then, Chrome handles the thing very nicely and either the plugin is stopped, or ony one tab is broken. The rest of it being still available. Amazing !

An article I wrote recently got on Hacker News. Here's the segmented referral traffic from HN to my blog: http://i.imgur.com/7gnH0.png

Cool idea for indirectly measuring HN browser usage =)

I expected IE to be pretty unpopular among the HN crowd, but less than 3%? Wow.

Similar numbers for a recent post on my blog as well (that was pretty much only HN users). About 38% on Chrome, 2.6% on IE.

For justin.tv,

Internet Explorer: 50.36%

Firefox: 33.01%

Chrome: 8.91%

Safari: 5.29%

Opera: 1.45%
