The goal of this report is to determine the browsers' market share of the most common Internet browsers.

Cloudflare accelerates and protects traffic for large parts of the Internet, with a global network that spans more than 200 cities in over 100 countries. Approximately 25 million Internet properties rely on Cloudflare's network to reach their audiences. More than 10% of all websites connect through our reverse proxy, including 17% of the Fortune 1000.

Due to the size of our network we are in a unique position to measure statistically relevant market share data.

Our methodology uses the user-agent header parsed using mainly uap-core c941f1d in combination with a proprietary parser. In Radar page only proprietary parser is currently being used and thus the results are different.

Starting from 2024Q1 we are also using client-hints to parse the browser.

• We store traffic metadata to orange clouded websites (websites that proxy their requests through our platform).
• We take the top 12 browsers for each combination (country, operating system, country and operating system) and the browsers that make it to the top 12 of any combination will be included in the Global Market Share section.
• We only consider requests from websites that used Cloudflare over the entirety of the report time window to avoid bias from the sample of websites changing.

• Unlike other methodologies, this one is not thwarted by ad or tracker blockers or other browser extensions that block analytic requests from third parties because Cloudflare is a first party in these instances, seeing the direct request to the website.
• This methodology assumes that the traffic that Cloudflare sees is representative of the whole in terms of link clicks from general search engines, which seems appropriate given the wide breadth of our customer base (many different types of websites use Cloudflare).
• This methodology relies on the browsers identifying themselves through the user-agent along with the operating system that is used.
• The higher the volume of data the more reliable this methodology becomes.

• Chromium is excluded as its codebase is used by many other browsers.
• WebViews are excluded. Both Chrome Mobile WebView and Mobile Safari UI/WKWebView make up a huge chunk of the data and such requests are being excluded. Follows the inclusion* list of browser user-agents:

{
    'Chrome': ['Chrome Mobile', 'Chrome Mobile iOS', 'Chrome'],
    'Edge': ['Edge Mobile', 'Edge', 'IE', 'IE Mobile'],
    'Opera': ['Opera Mobile', 'Opera Mini', 'Opera Tablet', 'Opera'],
    'Firefox': [
        'Firefox Mobile', 'Firefox iOS', 'Firefox', 'Firefox Beta', 
        'Firefox Alpha', 'Firefox (Namoroka)', 'Firefox (Shiretoko)'
    ],
    'Safari': ['Mobile Safari', 'Safari'],
    'Samsung Internet': ['Samsung Internet'],
    'UC Browser': ['UC Browser'],

    'Instabridge': ['Instabridge'],
    'Ecosia': ['Ecosia Android', 'Ecosia iOS'],
    'Oculus Browser': ['Oculus Browser']
}

• Not all these browsers have to show up in the report. The reason being that not all made it to the top 12 browsers for the breakdowns we support (country, operating system, country and operating system).

This report take into account only the following operation systems:

• iOS
• Android
• Desktop (Windows, MacOSX, Linux, ChromeOS)
• Mobile (WebOS, WindowsPhone, Blackberry, SmartTV, Nintendo, Xbox, Playstation, Kindle, Android, iOS)

Anything that is not identifiable as being into one of those categories is excluded.
