Here are stats for the University I work at. It's still not a representative sample but does show a different picture.

(Current Period):

  IE      35.01%
  Firefox 33.32%
  Safari  15.68%
  Chrome  14.56%
(Current Period - 1 Year):

  IE      40.61%
  Firefox 38.79%
  Safari  12.92%
  Chrome  4.93%


What country? I suspect figures in Europe are very different from those in the US. European versions of Windows are now required to offer a selection of browsers at install time.


US


Pretty high Safari usage there. I'm guessing macs are extremely common at the University?


Probably more so than in the "real world".

FWIW, our usage stats on OSX break down to about 2/3 using Safari and 1/3 using Firefox.


You're not trying to say that academia is an imaginary world, are you?


No, but I think it's safe to say that it's off the mean in many areas.
