Browser Stats

JohnK

Anyone know a good site which updates somewhat regularly (ie even 1~2 time a month) with general browser stats? I'm just trying to get a handle on what proportion of users are using which browsers and which versions etc.

thanks.

Here are some stats from one of my sites, if that helps.

Sweet. Probably the least biased stats I have come across yet. Most other sites that publish tend to be niche sites aimed at people who care about browser stats and as such aren't representitive.

Would love to see Google's or Yahoo's...

I don't know about that, boards.ie has a large percentage of techies who would favour non-IE browsers...

That's really important to bear in mind, and why you can pretty much discount figures you get from the likes of w3 schools etc.

This is what I am getting from one of my sites. It's a sports clubs, so a pretty wide range of users:

Rank|Browser|Percentage
1|Internet Explorer|71.55%
2|Firefox|21.40%
3|Safari|4.20%
4|Chrome|1.43%
5|Opera|1.13%
6|Camino|0.08%
7|Mozilla Compatible Agent|0.08%
8|NetFront|0.08%
9|Playstation 3|0.08%


I've taken out the amount of users, as it looks absolutely pathetic after CuLT's table.

Hence "least biased" I know there are a good deal of technical people on boards, but there are also a good deal of people who aren't, so the balance is fairer that most other sites that would be regularily publishing browser stats.

Thanks for the stats


Its interesting to see the difference between IE/Firefox between di11on & eoins sites and Boards, I was quite surprised to see IE usage so low (well, relatively speaking)


Dont suppose anyone feels like breaking it down by browser version?

Eoin

Here's the browser version breakdown. Well, the bit I was bothered doing!

Internet Explorer
Rank|Version|%
1|7.0|63.06%
2|6.0|35.78%
3|5.01|0.84%
4|8.0|0.31%


Firefox
Rank|Version|%
1|3.05|77.54%
2|3.06|7.02%
3|2.0.0.20|6.67%
4|2.0.0.18|2.11%
5|2.0.0.11|0.7%
The Rest| 3.0, 3.0.3, 3.0.4, 1.0.3| Whatever is left over
