For the sake of research we are not going to include Internet Explorer, Netscape, or Mozilla Firefox in our comparison because we consider these to be main browsers.  We are considering the aforementioned three as main browsers because of market share, name recognition, and number of years since release. Now let us define our secondary browser.  A secondary browser is one that is not preinstalled, is fairly new to the market, and is typically used alongside one of the main browsers.  Although Deepnet Explorer and Phaseout are good secondary browsers, they have little to no prevalence amongst Pitstop users, so we have fazed them out of the analysis. Now we are only left with Safari, Opera, Google Chrome, Maxthon, Flock, and Avant Browser. Below are the prevalence comparisons for each browser, first for all users and then for each region:<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color:white;text-align:center;font-style:italic;\">Pitstop Users Rank Safari # 1, Google #2, and Opera third.<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" onmouseover=\"return tooltip('&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt; Surprisingly a lot of Pitstop users prefer Safari over both Google Chrome and Opera.?&lt;\/b&gt;&lt;br \/&gt; Although Google chrome receives the higher marks from all the PC Mags, Pitstop users seem to be a little more in favor of Safari, while Opera comes in a third.&lt;\/font&gt;');\" onmouseout=\"return hideTip();\" src=\"\/graph_lib\/research\/Browsers.php\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color:white;text-align:center;font-style:italic;\">Go on a Middle Eastern Safari.<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" onmouseover=\"return tooltip('&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt; Ironically enough the Row region, which consists of Africa and the Middle East, are leading the world in Safari Web Browsing.&lt;\/b&gt;&lt;br \/&gt; Safari is a web Browser just now gaining stem in North America, but it appears to very popular over in the Eastern Hemisphere.&lt;\/font&gt;');\" onmouseout=\"return hideTip();\" src=\"\/graph_lib\/research\/BrowserSafari.php\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color:white;text-align:center;font-style:italic;\">Maxthon may be in the feeling-out process.<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" onmouseover=\"return tooltip('&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt; Although it has a very small prevalence, Row and Latin American web browsers are giving Maxthon a chance.&lt;\/b&gt;&lt;br \/&gt; I am not that familiar with Maxthon browser, but it stacks-up well against Opera and Safari, so it may be worth a try.&lt;\/font&gt;');\" onmouseout=\"return hideTip();\" src=\"\/graph_lib\/research\/BrowserMaxthon.php\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color:white;text-align:center;font-style:italic;\">The Avant Browser more popular in the Row Region.<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" onmouseover=\"return tooltip('&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt; It is becoming clear that the Row region is more diverse in there choice of web browsers.&lt;\/b&gt;&lt;br \/&gt; Although a solid web browser, unfortunately for the Avant Browser only ranks eighth behind browsers like Flock and Maxthon.&lt;\/font&gt;');\" onmouseout=\"return hideTip();\" src=\"\/graph_lib\/research\/BrowserAvant.php\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color:white;text-align:center;font-style:italic;\">No one is flocking to this browser.<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" onmouseover=\"return tooltip('&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt; Flock has a very low prevalence among Pitstop users in all regions, but it does the best in the Row region.&lt;\/b&gt;&lt;br \/&gt; Flock is a social web browser built on Mozilla Firefox that enables users to share videos, upload photos, and share photos.
