It should be noted, however that visitors may have spent more time browsing other sites than those shown here, since these are only the ten most frequently visited.Įach month Nielsen also focus on websites from a specific sector, and this time they analysed online news providers. This total was three times longer than that of its closest rival among the ten shown, AOL. Facebook dominated the field, with people spending almost six hours per month on the site. Nielsen also provided figures on the average length of time each unique visitor spent browsing each of the top ten most visited sites. Move cursor over chart to see numerical values. The top ten, shown below, also included the likes of Youtube (127.5 million) and (76.1 million). Yahoo completed the top three, while Wikipedia came in 8th place with 76.3 million. Google came out top across all websites in terms of total unique visitors, with its 173 million beating second placed Facebook by over 20 million. Almost 212 million Americans went online over the course of the month, with the average web user spending over 29 hours online in total. Postscript 3: Google’s now blogged about the new feature.Media research company Nielsen has released its monthly statistical summary of US website activity for May. To disable the feature entirely, click on the Wrench icon in the toolbar, then the Search tab, then the section called “Web-browsing tools” and then untick “Enable the Google new tab page.” Postscript 2: To remove a particular site, use the “Edit thumbnails” link at the bottom of the “Most visited” tab that appears. I also do NOT see a way to disable the new feature there. The functionality is only in Google Toolbar For Firefox 5 Beta. I kept downloading the non-beta version of the toolbar. However, when I’ve downloaded the toolbar, I’ve yet to get it work for me. Official news on the change is coming from Google shortly, but some people are already seeing the toolbar with the new functionality, as Google Blogoscoped notes. You’re also supposed to be able to individually prevent certain sites from showing. And if you clear your Firefox history, that also clears what’s used for creating the tabs. But Google tells me this can be disabled using the Google Toolbar’s Settings option. I find it annoying in Chrome that this cannot be disabled.
Of course, not everyone will like having all the sites they regularly visit showing up this way. With the update, if you open a new blank tab in Firefox, the sites you visit most often will be listed. Now Google has brought that to Firefox, via the latest Google Toolbar update now available. One of the key features of Google Chrome is how it will list the sites you regularly visit on your home page when the browser starts.
