Granted, registered users are <5% of views last I heard, but there are
biases in every sample.  Regular Wikipedia readers tend to be
disproportionately young, for instance, which means more browsing from
home and fewer on corporate networks who are locked into IE.  You
can't really say what the most popular browser is on the whole web.
(Well, you can: it's IE.  But you can't really say by how much,
exactly.)
