Use of mobile browsers and desktop browsers in previous years

New features: Full browser data

This project adds a new feature. From now on, the data will include all browsers for desktops and mobile, and countries with a mobile share of at least 20%. Nigeria and India are in this quarter.

In the four or five years, browser-type statistics show that the main mobile browser and the main desktop browser in the market competition tends to the normalization. This also tells you what the Web Developer is about to change. What should we do?

Overview

The first is a general overview, where we typically use the mobile share of all site visits to sort the country. South Korea has overtaken the United States as the top. Britain's mobile share has expanded by one-fold, rising from 5% to 10%.

Opera is now the largest browser in Mexico, and the BlackBerry is back on the throne. Nigeria we only count the use of the desktop, opera is now the largest browser.

I'm puzzled by the huge rate of change in Mexico's 23%. Brazilian data is caused by revisions to the detection method. Obigo and Jasmine have a large local share, with two companies leading to 13 points in the 21-point rate of change.

What is not visible in the table is the slow growth of Android in developed countries. So browser vendors are gongchenglvede in the markets of developing countries.

The rise in IE's share of the US is not visible. Although there are only a few 1%, it is good news for Microsoft.

Nigeria

The number of mobile-phone sites in Nigeria has grown again, now close to 40%. This growth seems unlikely to stop. The question is how long the share of desktop browsers will remain.

Given Opera's dominance in the local market, 90% of 39% means Opera has 35% of the market.

All browsers in Nigeria

The following includes charts for all desktop and mobile browsers. Opera is the biggest browser for the time being, even without considering the desktop. Firefox and IE share amazing market share because they don't have mobile apps. Chrome has maintained its growth in the desktop market.

India

The change in statistical methods is evident in India's data. More than 7 browsers have joined the market competition. Their growth comes mainly from opera (and NetFront, a statcounter mistake), not Nokia. Android is a new market and I hope it will grow steadily in the next few quarters. Other browsers are hard to say.

The share of mobile browsers is also exploding, though India is a few quarters behind Nigeria. Again, the question is how long the desktop share can be maintained.

All browsers in India

The following includes charts for all desktop and mobile browsers. Opera is still old four, but the share is 17% rather than 3%. NetFront's market is bigger than safari, not much.

If this trend continues, opera will soon become India's largest browser.

Indonesia

Android's share of the country in Indonesia has reached 3%, which has threatened other browsers. In addition, there are only slight fluctuations in the market.

Unlike Nigeria and India, Indonesia does not have large mobile phone growth. I'd like to explain why this story seems to explain something, but I don't quite understand

South

In the mobile and desktop share competition, South Korea has overtaken the US and UK, doubling its share from 5% to 10%. South Korea is the most mobile-owning developed country.

Android is a well-deserved hegemon in the browser market. This is thanks to Samsung's successful Android production line. Interestingly, Samsung's other browsers have little share in South Korea.

Apparently Koreans only buy luxury mobile phones online.

United States

The American iphone and Android competition finally broke out. The BlackBerry firmly occupies the third position. The robust growth of Android has recently threatened Safari. Android's downward trend in mature markets does not seem to be happening in the US.

I think Android will overtake Safari at the end of the third quarter. So in the fourth quarter you will see this, of course it's just speculation.

Nokia has expanded its browser usage by one-fold, though it has nothing to do with the US handset market. I guess it was because Symbian users started surfing the internet on their mobile phones.

IE Mobile has just passed the difficult period of the beginning. Its market growth is still to be seen, or my statistical technology changes.

United Kingdom

In Britain, the BlackBerry has once again topped the list, and surprisingly, Safari has fallen at the same time as it grew. Android's growth has also stalled, and this year seems unable to shake both positions.

Mexico

The development of the mobile phone market in Mexico this quarter is interesting. The number of people using mobile phones to access the web has doubled to 6%,opera by 20, Safari has dropped 11, and Nokia has dropped 6 points.

It's been a year-long change, but it doesn't seem to be enough for a quarter. I suspect the data has water, and Opera's David Storey and I think the same.

The reason for this change is hacking, which was discovered in January. Opera Mini users use the T3LC3L network for free. It can be foreseen that people will soon get bored and turn off the gap in the month. (though not very soon but certainly)

The January month's statistics showed a notable increase in the expected opera in June. Interestingly, David confirmed from opera's internal statistics that opera's share in July fell to May levels. Either t3lc3l has a security breach or something.

As can be seen from the browser's statistics, a large number of iphone users are switching to opera Mini, who want to use a free network. David does not think so, the iphone is not as famous as Opera Mini in Mexico. Opera's April and June figures did not show the iphone (General channel access, no internal intelligence), Opera has not released important May data.

David provides an explanation that the new Opera Mini users are new netizens who do not want to pay for special features. This is in line with the huge increase in mobile browsers.

In any case, the boom in Opera Mini and the huge growth in mobile web apps are not normal. Both seem to lose some of the market share in the third quarter, or some other forgery factor to join.

Stay tuned.

Brazil

StatCounter's revised approach is evident in Brazilian data. Obigo has a 7% share (up to the end of the quarter, the use of unknown browsers), Jasmine has a 6% share (until the end of the quarter, SAMSUMG usage). NetFront lost the market because of the bug, I think the third quarter will return to the original appearance. Other market shares including the unknown will continue to fall.

The Brazilian browser market looks as volatile as Mexico. This is not the case if the change in detail has nothing to do with the past quarter. Nokia's 4 points have been snatched by opera and Android, and some smaller browsers have taken up some of the shares because of the looser approach.

China

In China, UC browsers have lost ground continuously, only Nokia has grown this quarter. It sounds counterintuitive: Why agent Browser users switch to non-proxy browsers, not Safari or Android.

It is said that Nokia is not the Nokia WebKit, but based on the Gecko Ovi Proxy Browser, this is the new Nokia Quarterly. Currently statcounter the Ovi as a Nokia deal. I'd like to change it here.

Another possible UC browser was incorrectly detected as Nokia, and I found this problem and reported it to StatCounter.

The rest of the market is stable: Safari snatched 1 points from opera, just like that. I think China is a contest between proxy browsers and, oddly, opera is not one of them.

Netherlands

Safari was a leader in the Netherlands, but was gradually taken over by Android. Nothing else. There is nothing new in the browser market here. This is true of most Western markets, except the United States and Britain.

Egypt

Egypt is also a stable market for mobile browsers. Nokia lost 2 points, and Safari and Android each added 1 points. Changes in test methods have led to a number of bit changes. =_=

Poland

On the face of it, Poland has changed more than the Netherlands and Egypt combined. Unfortunately, most of the changes are due to changes in statistical methods. I'm not analyzing this quarter, starting next quarter.

Largest five browsers

Finally, let's take a quick look at the five largest browsers in 12 countries.
