Kinda weird for me to see so many people have the Home button enabled in Chrome.
Anyways, mines:

Isn't it on by default?
Pretty sure it's off by default.
Anyone who turns it on is insane then. Who uses a home page in 2012?

I actually wasn't aware of just how few people are using Opera. I feel like a hipster.
I loved it on Windows 7, but it has no benefits on Linux over Firefox or Chrome.
(I had no idea there even was a home button in Chrome...weird stuff.)

I was like wait, why is the pixel density lower for this install of Chrome? Then I saw the menu button and I was like "oohh."
Chrome on Android. :bow
Chrome on tablets. :bow2

Yeah, I don't know how accurate those statistics are, but it seems weird that it's the least used browser, since it's hardly different than chrome or firefox (on windows 7)

I think it's really an advertising thing.
Firefox basically kicked off as the "good" alternative to IE. Basically it was for techies at first, but once everyone realized that it made browsing easier, more and more people switched. This carried over with word of mouth and web advertising.
Chrome was basically destined to be a hit, because Google was backing it. Not only was it guaranteed to always be in the top two in terms of quality almost constantly, but it gained more and more people with it's slick, minimalism styled UI, and now Google is getting even more numbers because of their hard advertising push.
Opera is born from a smaller country, with a lot less resources than either Mozilla or Google. They do some advertising, but nothing even close to Google, or even Mozilla. It's not the default browser for any OS, and it isn't even bundled with any OS. Even with all this, it still has 200 million users worldwide, which is still kind of crazy and amazing.
I'm curious, are those statistics for a certain region, or worldwide?

That's actually true. Never thought about it, but now that you mentioned it, I think can't really remember ever seeing an Opera ad that wasn't on the Opera webpage.
Here's the site btw.
I assume that it's meant to be worldwide, but they also mention that they only gather the data from browsers that visit their site. And that statistics from other sites usually rate the Internet Explorer higher than they do. But even when it's not completley reliable, it shows how impressively Chrome grew out of nothing.
Yeah, I think it goes to show that if the design and advertising is there, then people will come.
I do admire how Opera still continue to innovate and re-invent themselves.

I feel like Firefox stole that TwentyTen theme I got from deviantart. Is that fair to say?

Anyone who doesn't always leave hundreds of tabs open from their last session. I use iGoogle as mine, don't usually open a browser showing it (I have multiple tabs open) but sometimes I do.
High-five!

Though I thought hipsters only uses popular stuff, like people who buy many Apple products.
