I don't think ~50% of users are running Chrome. Where are you getting your numbers from?

Perhaps 50% of your users aren't, but services exist for which that is the case. It doesn't really change the point being made however: would you really have preferred the statement "...your pages have loaded quickly for 38.271% of your users"? That's why the "~" was included to indicate approximation.
