Graphical depiction of web browser popularity from 1995-2011
MilesAhead:
I thought the graphic should have started a few years earlier. No props at all to Mosaic or lynx. It's not like they'd have to research back to the 1800s or anything.

A few years earlier is practically the 1800s in Internet time. :P
Opera's popularity over all those years is kind of pathetic. :( :-\ But at least it's still around! Unlike Netscape.

I don't like the way google bugs me to switch to chrome while using their services. I mean seriously, isn't that similar to adware or naggware ?

It's hardly a reason not to start at the beginning which was the 90s. The reason has more to do with vying for market share now than any historical perspective. IOW, it doesn't mean anything. Just more marketing twaddle.

I would assume that a major reason for this is that Opera has been a commercial product for many years while both Netscape and IE have been free.
