Tomorrow FireFox 4 will be released. It will be the last of the three major browsers to update. Two weeks ago Chrome 10 came out, last week IE9 came out. Let's take a look at the adoption rates for each of those on Giant Bomb. 
 

I have no idea how to read either pie chart.

Do we have time travelers visiting Giant Bomb? "

The fact that some people are still using IE 5 and 6 (even if it is a very small minority) is very distressing to me.

Hooray for data.

IE9 is currently messed up on Giant Bomb (almost makes it impossible to post because you can't read it), so I've just abandoned it. Although like ZP says, I find it really difficult to fathom those pie charts.

Chrome auto-updates silently whenever it's closed. Major version changes in IE need to be downloaded and installed. 
 
Plus, anyone on a school or work computer is probably going to visit this site on an outdated version of IE, or if they're lucky, an outdated version of Firefox.

I've been doing comparisons between IE8 and Chrome on Whiskey Sites to see the difference.   

No rounded corners in IE makes me sad.  
 
Probably won't be installing IE9 for a while.  
 
Does Windows Update push IE9 out to computers so people have to upgrade from IE8?

@gbrading: I'm using IE9 right now, and I haven't had any issue posting on GB or any of the other Whiskey sites. 
 
And I'm guessing part of the reason for IE7 and 8 are still being widely used is because of the OS requirements for 9, though I'd like to think anyone browsing these sites would've upgrade to Windows 7 (or even Vista) by now.

I can explain the ie7 stat. A lot of businesses are still rocking that in their standard xp sp2/sp3 images.

i'm using firefox 4 RC :O

More than you'd think. "

So are those people using a fake user agent, or is there actually a version with that number?  One thing to keep in mind is that IE9 requires at least Windows Vista. Windows XP is still in active use, so it will be some time before IE8 goes away. Even IE5.5 continues to hang onto life somehow. :( "

cant wait to see how Firefox 4 does, I am thinking 55%

I'm just surprised that people use Internet Explorer even at the behest of a loaded gun.

w00t for FireFox 4.   :)
