Snapshot from the daily build of Nov 6, 2026, last 7 days of npm data. With JavaScript on, this page recomputes it live with a 12-month chart.
By real installs, @mui/material is ahead of @chakra-ui/react by about 6.7×: about 13.7M vs 2.05M a week. npm's raw counts are 13,709,623 for @mui/material and 2,050,118 for @chakra-ui/react, which include mirrors, scanners and crawlers. Mirror spikes and crawlers removed. CI and dependency installs still count, so this is not a head count.
How the estimate works
- Cut the spike every new version gets from mirrors in its first days.
- Subtract the flat floor robots download from every version each week.
- Show what is left as a range, with a confidence level. It still includes CI and dependency installs, so it is not a count of people.
