Multibit, and I have blockchain, and I have even xapo cause they still don`t have fee`s, but its just for fun and satoshis that I still collecting from several faucets just for fun. I think there is no everyone here have couple wallets, for keeping, everyday use, or some special wallets for special purposes, when you think about it there is similar number of desktop and web wallets, cause of that fact, everyone have both of them, and all the newbies use online wallet, so maybe there more online wallets, but that is just guessing.

Mobile wallet or web wallet is being commonly used because its easy to use and theres no hassle on creating one. As a begginer mostly will start on creating web wallet because it is suggested specially on small transactions of bitcoin but if we are already talking about big amounts of bitcoin then desktop or hardware wallet would be the best wallet among them all.
to me i personally use web wallet, i am most using yobit and blockchain wallet, there are so many other online wallet like xapo but as i am also doing trading in yobit exchange therefore yobit account is more reliable for me.

I think it is more likely that web wallets are the most used since many bitcoin users don’t want to deal with installing their own wallet, then I will probably guess the next most popular will be wallets for mobile devices since they are everywhere now, and finally the wallets for desktop.
But the web wallet can't provide you a more security. And i think SPV or dekstop wallet is the best choice in my mind. XAPO is bad in my experience. I guess just try to use the dekstop wallet. and it will give more guarantee for your amount.
You are correct, but at first a newbie in the world of bitcoin probably is going to care more about convenience than security when trying to open their first wallet, and that is why I think web wallets are probably the most popular of all the wallets, if you want security a hardware wallet or a paper wallet seems like the best choice.
web wallets are good for newbies but when you have live in the Bitcoin world long enough, you will realize how stupid and awful it can be. many of my friends have lost money and Bitcoin from Coinbase and they never want to return to it anymore. Moreover, Coinbase like to hold transactions and do not send it immediately. Therefore, it will cause a lot of troubles to users when they need to send fund urgently

The type of wallet I use most often is Coinbase. Actually, I did not use a Coinbase purse right from when begin that I used Blockchain. Due to Blockchain transaction fees being too high, I switched to Coinbase. It is quite easy to use, the transaction costs are quite low and does not seem to have. However, at present, its transaction speed is quite slow and security is not good. I am intending to switch to a desktop purse like the Electrum, I heard that it is quite good and security is good. Electrum also has a version for the phone. In the future, I will use the Electrum purse to make it safer Cheesy

I'm used blockchain over a year and I trust him alot. I'm also split my bits into my local exchanger so if something bad happen on blockchain, I have other back up for my bitcoin wallet.
I'm wonder myself why I trust only blockchain although there are many good online wallet to such as coinbase etc

I think with a web wallet is enough, this is because my bitcoin balance is still small, many people assume that the most dangerous web wallet and easily stolen. Next day maybe I will use desktop wallet.
It's alright to using Web wallet to store small amount of Bitcoin but for huge usage better to use desktop wallet for security matter. Indeed, web wallet has a big risk because close their service but with such reputation that's very hard to close that.

advantage use web wallet without syncronize wallet
easy and instant can use, after register youre addres is ready use, web wallet is support use private key is safe, you can open youre wallet addres is anytime anywhere use private key

As far as i know there are over ten millions wallets hosted in Blockchain and over 6 millions on coinbase. So i think it can be  right to say that both are the most used in the bitcoin community. The problem is that it's really impossible, in my opinion, to compare with others web based wallets or bitcoin client... It could be interesting to see accurate statistics about this but as say i think it's near impossible to get it. Generally most people starting with bitcoin, start with a web based wallet, and if they continue or not using bitcoin they still have their web baseed wallet as you can't delete your account

I used three wallet and I'm sure these wallet are secured and easy to use.
1. Blockchain wallet- this wallet have authentication when you open wallet and that's good because no one can open your account except to you.
2. Coinbase- this wallet have vault and very safe because when the hacker open your wallet in coinbase he cannot open you vault because they different password. They have also 2fa.
3.coins.ph - Asia's wallet and my country wallet. I like this wallet because the website sent me confirmation code in my mobile number when someone tried to open my account.

Maybe yes maybe no. Taking me as an example my first wallet was a web one. Because nobody learned me anything about cryptocurrencies and that was the more easy way to store my first satoshis from faucets. After that I tested a mobile wallet only to check if it was appropriate for my needs but I gave it up because I had the opportunity to 'pair' my web wallet with my smartphone so it is more handy for me to control only one wallet in two different machines. At last, when I signed in this forum and I learned some about wallet security and reliability i went with desktop solution and now I trust most of all my desktop electrum wallet because I own the private keys and nobody else. As always security is not near with ease. You choose and get pros and cons.
At the end it is impossible to know since there are no way to get the full statistics about that, but I think it is a safe guess that is that way, since my first wallet was a wallet on blockchain.info then when I realized I wanted more security for my bitcoins I installed my own desktop wallet.

yes no doubt about this that most of the people are using online wallet for keeping their bitcoin, to me i also use online wallet for saving money, but i am using online wallet for different wallets for security reasons.

I was just about to download the entire bitcoin core 0.14.0 wallet update from a few days ago but am wary to a hard drive crash so put it off for now.
I would stick to web wallets for now until one can get a reliable media to store the block chain on first.

I also use the web purse. But, some say it's not very safe. But I have never had problems with this purse
