…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.
