My app data tell me Safari is the most popular browser

To give some context, I have been running a URL shortener[1] and all of my customers use custom domains to create short links.

Today, I got curious and decided to dig a bit deeper into my database.

Here's what I found about Browser share.

Safari - 54.3% Chrome - 32.6% Firefox - 3.5% SamsungBrowser - 3.3% Edge - 1% Opera - 0.4% MiuiBrowser - 0.2% Others = 4.7%

I am quite surprised that Safari has the largest share. Is this due to popularity of iphone and Mac? TBH, I expected Chrome to win this battle with Firefox coming close second.

The data is from User agent, so there is a possibility of minor errors. Also, most of the data is from the US.

Probably depends on your audience. Mine are developer focused and Chrome dominates by a large margin, 70±% of all pageviews across multiple sites
