Usage share of web browsers

The usage share of web browsers is the percentage of visitors to a group of websites that use a particular web browser. For example, when it is said that Internet Explorer has 66% usage share, it means that some version of Internet Explorer is used by 66% of visitors that visit a given set of sites. Typically, the user agent string is used to identify which browser a visitor is using. The concept of browser percentages for the Web audience in general is sometimes called browser penetration.[citation needed] More detailed information about a given browser can be found on the page for the browser in question. Notably, by-version browser share information for Internet Explorer can be found on the Wikipedia page for Internet Explorer.
