How many people use Firefox, Safari, Opera Browser?

Recently Opera’s market share increased from 0.87% to 0.99%, I was discussing about it with a group of fellows and one person stated: “with only 1 percent of share Opera has no importance at all!”. Dude… I wish you knew the number of all internet users at first!

Here’s the chart showing the current Browser Market Share (provided by Net Applications).

Web browser market share

According to these numbers there’s around 1,244,449,601 people connected to the web so far – let’s calculate how many of them use respective browsers:

• IE (around 969,052,904)
• Firefox (around 184,800,766)
• Safari (around 62,844,705)
• Opera (around 12,320,051)
• Netscape (around 7,964,477)

Now you’ve got to know that Opera’s 1% is THAT much, and why social bookmarking version of Netscape.com was a huge success.
