Yes, I concur about disparity between local and global stats on
Chrome. Same in my reports.

Someone once told me anything >1% deserves at least some attention, so
that still justifies my effort vis a vis OS X Chrome.

Somewhat OT: And then there are all those UNIX/LINUX wankers I've just
discovered have a whole different way of seeing things in the same
browsers. ... D'oh, d'oh, and double-d'oh!! And that was another
reason why I like Chrome, because it was the most consistent in Unix/
Linux installations, whereas Firefox was a royal pain and caused me to
practically start from scratch for some elements.

I dunno if this is a no-brainer for some of you, but just in case
anyone has to build for Unix/Linux Firefox: I've found it's best to
use x-small/small/medium/... for horizontal menu font specs (e.g.,
<li> with display: inline) to get the menu to work consistently across
browsers.

This was a good lesson that helped remind me of reading somewhere, way
back, that x-small/small/etc. was the preferred specification
according to some developers. My designer colleagues balk at this, but
I found that in conjunction with Eric Meyer's reset.css, this actually
worked very well.

That said, I'm curious if any of you have had similar experiences
developing for Unix/Linux Firefox and also usage of the x-small/etc.
specs.
