More than half the people who view porn are watching it using mobile devices like tablets and smartphones, and most of these mobile users are accessing their porn using Apple's Safari browser.

According to leading adult entertainment website, Pornhub, there is a major shift in consumption, and in a report titled Pornhub Battle of the Browsers, it reveals that while visitors using PCs remain a significant percentage, more than half of the 38 million daily visitors are using smartphones or tablets.

On smartphones, Safari is the most commonly used browser, though this could also be a sign of Android users being split across different browsers. According to Pornhub, Safari accounts for 38.2 percent of its mobile browser-based traffic and the default Android browser accounts for 29.4 percent, but Chrome is at 18 percent, while Internet Explorer is at 2.4 percent. Rounding out the top five is Opera Mini, at 2.3 percent.

Internet Explorer, Safari and the Android browser are exclusive to their respective platforms, but others like Chrome and Opera Mini are multiplatform.

On tablets, the difference is more marked - Safari accounts for a whopping 73 percent, while Chrome was 13.6 percent of the audience, followed by the Android browser at 7.8 percent, and Amazon Silk at 4.8 percent. BlackBerry rounds off the top five for tablets, accounting for 0.69 percent of viewers. Of course, this is also might just be a reflection of the overall tablet sales - iPad users are not necessarily more interested in porn, just more in number.

On the desktop though, Chrome is by far the most popular option, accounting for 44.4 percent of all Pornhub views, followed by Internet Explorer, at 23.2 percent, and Firefox at 20 percent. Safari and Opera follow, at 7 percent and 2.6 percent, respectively.
