A rough estimation of usage share by percent of layout engines/web browsers as of Q2 2009, see usage share of web browsers The usage share of web browsers is the percentage of visitors to a group of websites that use a particular web browser. For example, when it is said that Internet Explorer has 52% usage share, it means that some version of Internet Explorer is used by 52% of visitors that visit a given set of sites.This is a table of personal computer web browsers by year of release of major version, in chronological order, with the approximate number of worldwide Internet users in millions. Note that Internet user data is related to the entire market, not the versions released in that year. The increased growth of the Internet in the 1990s and 2000s means that current browsers with small market shares have more total users than the entire market early on. For example, 90% market share in 1997 would be roughly 60 million users, but by the start of 2007 9% market share would equate to over 90 million users.[1]

Here's an amusing comic breaking down . web browsers. . See it here :
Q. Man that stings! Just recently I had typed a virtual "e-book", with all kinds of references, quotations, jokes, metaphors, similes, oxymorons, comparisons, charts, graphs, fractions, equations, transliterations, juxtapositions...ok, ok, well maybe not all that, but the point is that it was alot, and very well put together if I may say so myself (self approval processing...loading...lo ading...approved). And just as soon as I edited it, and tried to post it...it was like, "oopsies, Y/A is under maintenance, We're sorry but you just wasted 18 minutes of your time, come back later loser...on the bright side you can still play one of Yahoo's great online games like Donna's Dollhouse Decorator" lol Unbelievable!!

A. I die inside a little each time that happens, or when I give a Great answer, to a ranting query, and then the query gets pulled. I've taken to saving my answers if they are REALLY important to me, either on "notepad" or IM, that way I still have it for when Maintainence is over, or for when the Angry Rant "Question" is posted back up. As I think was already mentioned, if you see your answer didn't post, didn't post completely, etc. if you use the Back button, you can try resubmitting. If that doesn't work, I find highlighting the whole thing, clicking "copy" then clicking on the Answer button, and starting fresh works well. Then all you gots to do is push Paste and it pops right back up.
