That graph says "Desktop, Tablet & Console". Not sure if that also
includes phones.
Possibly.
But <
http://gs.statcounter.com/feed> gives more or less the same statistics
for "desktop internet usage", which seems unambiguous.
Actually this gives an even higher percentage for Chrome, 60.5%.
IE and Edge combined are at 15.5%.
