The browser statistics are gone from Google Zeitgeist which makes web developers harder to see global stats.

“As a result of user feedback we have decided to focus our efforts on the
international expansion of the Google Zeitgeist and will no longer be
publishing data about Web browsers, operating systems and languages used to
access Google. You can view historic data in the Google Zeitgeist archives,
