20 weeks.  Watch closely to see what Microsoft does.

1500 hits to a picture of a horse smoking.  However these hits 
have been excluded from the calculations.

Safari usage appears to have fallen a little,

caused by the Easter public holidays.

Chrome progressed from version 25 to version 26.

The sample size was 22248 visits by humans.
