Browser Stats

, , ,

Fresh browser statistics from OneStat.com make me wonder which rules they use to sort columns in reports... They use rules nor by browser name, nor by browser share percentage.
That what they have:

The most popular browsers on the web are:
1. Microsoft IE      85.45 %
2. Mozilla Firefox   11.51 %	
3. Apple Safari       1.75 %	
4. Netscape           0.26 %	
5. Opera              0.77 %	

The most popular browsers in the USA are:
1. Microsoft IE      80.73 %	
2. Mozilla Firefox   14.07 %	
3. Apple Safari       3.55 %	
4. Netscape           0.76 %	
5. Opera              0.77 %	

The most popular browsers in Canada are:
1. Microsoft IE      78.52 %	
2. Mozilla Firefox   16.98 %	
3. Apple Safari       2.05 %	
4. Netscape           0.68 %	
5. Opera              1.67 %	

The most popular browsers in the UK are:
1. Microsoft IE      93.37 %	
2. Mozilla Firefox    4.94 %	
3. Apple Safari       0.99 %	
4. Netscape           0.23 %	
5. Opera              0.39 %

Why Opera need to be the last? Netscape need to have last position! furious

Update: Some Slashdotters commented this too.

By the way there is stats from one of the largest Ukrainian portals: BigMir.

Microsoft IE          82.7 %
Mozilla/Firefox        9.5 %
Opera                  6.5 %
Netscape               0.5 %
Safari/Konqueror       0.6 %
Other                  0.6 %

I saw this as well when it was posted on Asa's blog. I almost commented there, but didn't think it would do any good.

Why have the numbers there if they are not ranking them in order? It seems misleading. But I think most people get it and recongize it's misleading.
