released a new online research tool that monitors the market share for browsers and operating systems

StatCounter , one of the best and largest free stats services,(mobile versions also). StatCounter Global Stats uses data provided by their counters installed on many websites to gather this browsers and OS's data and then makes it available for everyone. You can see these stats by country, continent or globally and also there is data available for a given period or even for today as StatCounter Global Stats is updated 5 times per day.Just one thing: even though this is valuable data, it depends on which websites StatCounter is installed thus making some stats lean one way or another.
