A brief overview of the visualization
The visualization compares Web browsers' market share in different countries across time. Every planet is a browser and every moon orbiting it is a country where the browser has the majority market share. On older machines, it might take a few seconds for the moons to initially appear. The website works in Firefox, Chrome, Safari (desktop) and Opera. (compatibility table for SVG SMIL animation support)

Red is the subset of priority and up-and-coming markets*
