Browser usage stats for neowin?


Recommended Posts

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...

what were the others? only 14%? that means 86% of Neowinians still need to see the good things about life. :p

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.

Or it could mean that 14% of Neowinians need to keep their mouths shut and stop annoying everyone...

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...

Yeah, but it's measuring hits per user-agent, not users per browser.

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...

For .NET Developers its great to see so many people actually have the .NET CLR installed now. :D

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...

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.

I second this motion.

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...

There's no evidence to support that...

Well you know what would happen if the FF userbase was as large as the IE user base right?

Spyware for firefox.
