Statistics can be misleading
As a web developer, you cannot rely solely on the statistics above. Statistics can be misleading.
Note: The user group of the W3CSchool website is mainly a large number of web technology enthusiasts. They generally seek a more suitable alternative browser to install and use. Ordinary users will prefer to directly use the browser pre-installed on the system.
Tip: Global averages may not be relevant to your site. Different websites attract different users. Some sites attract professional developers using specialized hardware, while others attract hobbyists using older computers.
In summary, the statistics we collected from W3CSchool log files, and analyzed the latest log files viewed over the years, clearly indicate long-term browser usage trends.
