2015 Year in Review

Author: Erik Runyon

I always enjoy looking at the shifting numbers over the course of a year. The rise and fall of browsers and mobile trends can be quite interesting. This past year we saw Chrome move to pretty much 50% of our total browser usage. And while the mobile browser/os precentages remained steady, the total traffic from mobile increased pretty much across the board.
