Interesting.

I'd noticed the rather sudden rise of Chrome in recent months, from our
stats it has overtaken IE6 (finally).

Globally I see IE8 and FF neck and neck, but the total IE we see still
significantly exceeds FF. This is depressing, I'd rather see IE8 well in
the lead, than a significant number of IE7/IE6 users since it suggests
they are intent on joining a bot army. I don't see that much Safari, but
given how dreadful the Windows version is I think that is no surprise.

Statcounter are claiming a number proportion for Safari than the
proportion of MacOS users, unless perhaps they are counting iPhones
and/or unrepresentative sites. The iPhone is distinct enough it probably
should be listed separately - no Flash for example.
