You probably remember when, in March this year the first time Chrome topped the market share for a day. Some weeks later the Chrome kicked once the competitor from Microsoft, all according to StatCounter. This has not stopped Microsoft from challenging the same data already in March. This week the very StatCounter decided to rebut criticism of Microsoft quite detailed.
In a lengthy open letter released on the site, not only the Statcounter cited each of the errors and omissions of the post Roger Capriotti, Microsoft, but it also showed the differences in metrics with Net Applications. They say, for example, there is a fundamental error in the post where Roger says to wear pageviews is wrong and we should use unique visitors (a metric Net Applications). The problem, says the StatCounter is that the Net Applications browser only accounts for one per day per user and therefore "the amount of use your browser or use another browser after that is completely ignored."
The method used to measure the StatCounter by using a browser is shown in the following video, published in May.

Other points raised by StatCounter are related to the omission of Microsoft not to say that Net Applications does not reveal the amount of pageviews per month and also the fact that your competitor groups in the statistics of the Internet Explorer rendering engines similar to Maxthon and Lunascape. The StatCounter also says that the metrics relating to the increasing use of Chrome beats with ComScore, traffic analysis company and does not disclose your data - the confirmation came from a spokesman for the company during an interview.
I recommend reading the full text where the StatCounter tries (and in my view, can) prove that its metrics are more valid than those of Net Applications. And they even apologize to the Net Applications in the end, but I'm waiting for a response to high.
