Re: [tlug] Browser share in Japan?

[Martin G <ebisumartin@example.com>]

The only thing that matters in open source (and free software, for
that matter) is release rate of the products you use.  Comparing
market share is irrelevant.

Doesn't that depend on how you're defining market share?

Install base would be kind of irrelevant with browsers, since a lot of people probably have IE pre-installed, but may not use it.

However, I believe the statistics for browsers are usually generated from the user-agent strings received at tested web sites. So, putting aside for the moment the various innaccuracies, those statistics measure what browsers are actually being used.

And isn't measuring what people actually use extremely relevant?
