Internet users in general are getting savvier and smarter with their online usage and where they are browsing. We’re seeing modern browser usage increase, so we know that people are enjoying a better internet experience, which is great news for the web development community! On Snoack Studios’ website specifically, Chrome users dominate at 36% of our overall traffic, followed by Firefox at 27%, Safari at 20%, IE at 12%, and Opera at 1%. These are a little bit different than average numbers on the web in general, although Chrome is the front-runner browser today and has been for a little while now.
