I'm a Chrome loving geek, but I'm far outnumbered by the non-technical, non-geeks that I've converted to Chrome based on its superior security and stability.

Among my friends, that's step 1 when you get roped into doing family tech support anymore: remove the IE shortcuts, install Chrome. Only sometimes changing the chrome shortcut to the IE icon...

Even my mum uses Chrome now :/ I think it's going to be more mainstream than firefox in the end.

Thanks, that's really interesting.

I have been playing with web workers (http://github.com/revis/Really-Cloudy) and one thing that worried me was the number of people with capable browsers. From your data it looks like that isn't a problem for technical audiences.

I'm so happy to see FX3 at 65% and less domination of IE :)

Atleast some webapp makers and users don't care about IE.
