aldo Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Just curious as to what sort of percentages you get. I see a lot of FireFox users round here but I'm wondering what sort of difference it makes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dorr Veteran Posted May 2, 2004 Veteran Share Posted May 2, 2004 Looks like FireFox was about 14% of the hits for April :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannes Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 what were the others? only 14%? that means 86% of Neowinians still need to see the good things about life. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Derf Veteran Posted May 2, 2004 Veteran Share Posted May 2, 2004 There's also Opera, Apple's Safari (based on Konqeror?), non-Mozilla Netscape editions and those hard core Gentoo users who surf from the console using Lynx. Phear them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dorr Veteran Posted May 2, 2004 Veteran Share Posted May 2, 2004 Opera is 2%, and that's it. IE, FF, and Opera are the only ones that make it above 0.5%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the evn show Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Are those stats taken per hit, or per visit? if random firefox guy X hits 100000 pages per day, while 1000 opera guys hit only a handful of pages per day that's going to shift things. Not that it really matters a whole lot I guess (100000 page views are still going to an IE client vs 5000 to opera) but it does shift the number of users per browser a bit. Not to mention browsers that lie in their user agent. Not that numbers heavily favoring IE/Windows are unusual for a site named neoWIN... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chode Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Don't forget that the bulk of Opera users set the browser to "Identify As Internet Explorer" so that MSN sites (namely, Hotmail) will continue working....as well as several other sites that blacklist Opera for some reason...

aldo Posted May 2, 2004 Author Share Posted May 2, 2004 Wow, intresting. It's good to see that FF is making a great impact now. Hopefully with 0.9, and then 1.0 we could see 20% of the visits being from FF... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This site is a poor representation of the *wider www* - its geared up primarily to techies, who are more likely to use products like firefox. Browser stats from a site like CNN, BBC, ot Google would offer a more representative figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldo Posted May 7, 2004 Author Share Posted May 7, 2004 Yes, but say 10% (a bit optimistic, still, but I am hearing of a lot of companies ready to switch to FF at 1.0 as their main browser as they are sick to death of spyware being installed) of the internet uses FF. Not only that, I'm betting that those FF users do more shopping on the internet, banking etc than their IE counterparts. So really, you are looking at blocking out 20% of your intrested customers if you do not spend the little time to optimize your browser for FF...

Well you know what would happen if the FF userbase was as large as the IE user base right? Spyware for firefox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
