Firefox more famous or Google Chrome?

Internet Explorer is the most used Internet browser, then Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Safari. I have yet seen a site which displays otherwise (maybe Safari and Opera have interchanged, but it's minimal).Joel said:
Note that W3Schools doesn't provide accurate counts due to it's tendency of users being web developers and not wanting to use IE.

Nah bro. Internet Explorer is easily the best browser on the net. Anything else is a downgrade. In fact, the best Internet Explorer is IE6. Microsoft has never made better (it's kinda like Infinity Ward with Call of Duty 4).
IE is still the most used browser, wiki compares stats from various sites here.

Firefox is definitely more famous than Chrome, but like everyone else has said IE is still the most widely used.

I wish IE does not exist any more, I would use firefox.
Of what evidence can you supply to negate the trends provided here? Although I don't usually refer to Wikipedia, the trend that IE is in front of FF is fairly consistent. FF has surpassed IE in some countries but on a total, global scale, IE is still in front. No one here is living in 2005.Solidus said:
I agree that Opera needs to be known more. I am an Opera user just to clarify.
W3schools, Statcounter, Cnet. It's all over the web.
Not to mention a huge amount of the IE ''users'' are using it because they don't know an alternative exists. AND you have to first use IE to download another browser, so that's another + for IE.

Like I said in my first post, W3Schools is a terrible example. What general web user is going to go to W3Schools? W3Schools is for web developers and coders, not your average Internet user, so it's statistics are not accurate. StatCounter reports more IE users than FF. Likewise with W3Schools, Cnet is aimed at technology users so it's not considering the whole Internet. It's targeted at a specific niche. You've got to provide better examples.Solidus said:
I actually had the example that you use IE to download another browser on Windows OS, but that in itself answers the question on how many users. Regardless if you are eventually going to use another browser, you are still using IE. Like how you said, we are looking at "the most used browser" and if that's how IE can be used, then it should still be considered. And so what if there are plenty of IE users because they don't know or can't be bothered to download or read upon another. We are talking about "the most used browser" and likewise, if that's how IE is going to rank most used than it should not be excluded.
