IE usage stats are off
Based on statcounter, usage stats for all IE versions is at 0.28% . but in caniuse, usage stats only for IE11 stands at 0.47%.
Not sure what chart configuration you're using there but here's the one that matches the 0.47% seen on caniuse: https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share#monthly-202107-202207-bar
@Fyrd just went to main website and hovered over IE line chart on july 2022.
Your link, shows a bar chart which seems to average usage stats for given period of time (1 year), not the last monthly usage stat
@pooyaEst Ah, you're right, I thought I was looking at just the last month. Funny that the % happens to be exactly the same. Thanks, I'll investigate what's going on here.
Ah, I remember now, there's a few other "shell" browsers tracked on StatCounter that were originally folded under IE as they were using the same rendering engine. I should probably revisit some of those as "360 Secure Browser" for example currently uses WebKit/Blink by default.
So I installed 360 Secure Browser and tested it with StatCounter's Useragent detection with these results its two different modes, with these results:
WebKit (actually Blink?) :
Trident:
Note that both of them identify as "360 Secure Browser" which is unfortunate because it means we can't tell if these should be treated as IE or Chrome. As the WebKit engine is the default though it think it would probably make more sense to treat it as Chrome.
A related oddity I noticed is that in China the top browser version of Chrome is version 69, which appears to be what the current version of 360 Secure Browser uses: https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-version-market-share/desktop/china/#monthly-202108-202208-bar
But I'm also seeing Chrome 70 and 72 there so maybe that's coincidence.
Still need to look into Sogou Explorer, might be similar behavior there.
It's odd that chrome 69 is the most used chrome version, maybe the Nswer lies in one of china's local browsers based on chromium ?
