Mobile Safari is not the same thing as desktop Safari, just like Android browser is not Chrome, Opera Mobile is not desktop Opera, and mobile Firefox is not desktop Firefox.

It's completely misleading to suddenly add iOS browser market share to desktop Safari market share and go like "Wow. Safari market share grew 12% - in a year!" - when Mobile Safari has grown at a steady pace since 2007 and has never been considered part of desktop Safari's market share.

They may share code with their desktop counter-parts, but they are not the same, and if you are going to lump the desktop version with the mobile version together, then at least do it for all browsers.
