Guyana

In Guyana IE is still the leader. It´s next to Venezuela. Venezuela uses chrome, 2nd most used in both countries is firefox. Chrome is most used in both.

Western Sahara

The color of western sahara is neither of the 4 colors but the appropriate glossary/reference text is missing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iprathik (talk • contribs) 16:25, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Eritrea

In Eritrea, IE is the leader, it appears to be Firefox. It needs correction — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.234.131.152 (talk) 05:16, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nepal

The colouring is wrong for Nepal and for other south asian countries. I am pretty sure Nepal has more usage of firefox and IE than chrome, by a huge number. Same goes for other countries in South Asia. CHrome is only used in India. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.114.81.204 (talk) 22:55, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Chrome was the most popular in Nepal in January 2012 according to StatCounter, closely followed by Firefox. IE doesn't have nearly as much. - 193.84.186.81 (talk) 10:05, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Chrome is solid leader in Cyprus ! Please update the map !--Camoka4 (talk) 16:25, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Monthly update

For convenience, the update of the map should only be made when a month is finished, when the share is fixed. So the updated is only recommended once each month. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.239.224.243 (talk) 19:32, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Antarctica - Should be listed?

Should Antarctica be listed? It is not a country, so maybe it should receive the color gray. It has a population of 0 so the only people occupying it are researchers, not residents and is not recognized as a country by any official entity such as the UN BaShildy (talk) 21:23, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good question. Antarctica is not a country - it is split in parts "belonging" to different countries, and even has a part which is not claimed by any country. However, the description of the image on the description page reads "Most used web browser in country or dependency as of January 2012". So now the question is: How should this map treat dependencies? Should they be colored equaly to the country they are dependent on? Regardless of the answer, I don't think Antarctica should be treated as a single dependent territory, and therefore it should not be shown with a single color. I believe the reason that Antarctica is presently shown with a single color, is due to the way the internet is organized. Antarctica has its own Country code top-level domain (.aq) even though it is not a country! I think the best solution, for now, is simply to delist Antarctica, preferably removing it completely from the map so that the map reflects similar maps on Wikipedia where Antartica is also absent. Regarding other dependent territories, I think they should just be colored the same way as the country they are dependent on. E.g. Greenland - same color as Denmark, French Guiana - same color as France, Svalbard - same color as Norway, and so on. Alternatively, the map could be re-organized by Country code top-level domain, and the title of the map could be changed to "Most used web browser by Country code top-level domain according to StatCounter" - but that is difficult to understand by the non-technical reader. 90.184.5.10 (talk) 23:08, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is according Statcounter show their share, for example share of France is different to the French Guyana, it is simple, not complicated.

In regards to Greenland, as it is an autonomous country within the Kingdom of Denmark, it could be listed with a different color as Denmark because of it's unique country code top-level domain. If we relabel the image as by top-level domain according to StatCounter, I'd agree that it makes the image less clear. I would vote that French Guyana, Svalbard, Greenland, and all co-dependencies / countries within other nations should be listed separate. We can either remove Antarctica from the map, gray it out, or adjust the map so it wouldn't be visible as a compromise. BaShildy (talk) 01:14, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have given this world map issue more thought, and actually wouldn't mind that dependencies, oversea regions, etc. could be listed separately with a color different from their "controlling" state. I think the main source of confusion started when Antarctica was introduced into the map. First, it bothers me that the area of Antarctica is so huge compared to the other countries. I know that this is a result of the projection used but it is still misleading in particular when the population of Antarctica is taken into account. Second, it bothers me that Antarctica is represented as a single region which suggests that Antartica is a country, which it is clearly not. I would vote that Antarctica should be removed from the map, i.e. roll the map back to the way it was by 27 April 2012. 90.184.5.10 (talk) 02:40, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Remember that this map represent Statcounter data. I think more discussion is unnecessary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.239.224.243 (talk) 15:10, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Christmas island

chistmas island should be orange not gray. --Ty Rezac (talk) 20:40, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Antarctica

Antarctica, Africa, Asia, etc. are shown as continents on Statcounter.

Antarctica is not a country.

The map file name is Countries by most used web browser.svg, NOT CONTINENTS by most user web browser.

Antarctica should not be included in the map. --Free ottoman (talk) 16:17, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You can find the editors and discuss with them here:

Better yet you can fix it yourself. Daniel.Cardenas (talk) 19:44, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You can create a crop of the svg image and use that. I would remove most of the pacific ocean in the crop. People can click through to the original to get more details. Daniel.Cardenas (talk) 19:55, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I agree that Antarctica is not a country, but there are country dependencies there. The people of the expeditions are living there right now. There are info for Antarctica in Statcounter http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser-an-monthly-201210-201210-bar The first browser is Firefox. --Peeperman (talk) 01:13, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello all, please see the comments on Antarctica here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File_talk:Countries_by_most_used_web_browser.svg - It appears that several people think that the map should not include Antarctica. @Peeperman: I think Statcounter includes Antarctica in their stats because they also list the continents. If you constructed a map with the continents, each shown as a region with a single color, it could make sense to include Antarctica. 90.184.5.10 (talk) 09:10, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you have right. I'm going to remove Antarctica. I will also create a map, browser per continent.--Peeperman (talk) 00:14, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Andorra and Greece

Andorra should be updated as Chrome on the map. Greece looks like it switched from Firefox to Chrome.--Free ottoman (talk) 18:54, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
