Statistics lie, but…
11 January 2005 01:31…when I looked at the statistics of my site, and how the browser stats have changed during the four months I’ve been with my current host, I’m a bit happy. True - it’s only telling anything about the visits to my own site, but that’s the one important to me. I also could have taken into account various sources that may skew the numbers this way or that way - but I don’t bother too much about that either. I’m not looking at getting the exact numbers as much as how the numbers change - and that’s what I’m looking at here:
| September | October | November | December | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Internet Explorer | 80,5% | 81,9% | 76,4% | 74,2% |
| Opera | 2,2% | 3,0% | 4,9% | 8,3% |
| FireFox | - | 2,6% | 6,0% | 5,6% |
| Mozilla | 6,6% | 4,1% | 1,5% | 3,0% |
| Safari | 1,4% | 1,4% | 1,9% | 1,9% |
| Netscape | 2,1% | 2,1% | 3,6% | 1,3% |
| Konqueror | 0,8% | 0,3% | 0,4% | 0,2% |
It’s fun to see Opera and Firefox making such strides forward, and Internet Explorer losing terrain - especially since my site isn’t one which should be of a kind that attracts people interested in using standard adhering browsers over IE users. So far in January Opera and FireFox is both between 6 and 7% - it will be fun to see how this will develop in the time ahead. Hopefully, more and more will use modern browsers and drop the dinosaur.

Something weird
What is going on here? I’m looking at my statistics, and find that for April Opera is represented by 16.2% of the browsers visiting my site. Those who have read my previous numbers see that there were quite a growth in Opera usage the first four month…
