Share your stats
Tue Sep 22
There’s a meme on Twitter at the moment entitled Share your Stats where web guys are sharing statistics about the browsers viting websites. I’m not sure who started this meme, but I guess they are trying to get a feel for how prevalent Internet Explorer is, particularly version 6. You know most web developers don’t like Internet Explorer 6, right?
Anyway, I have a few sites I can share the statistics for. Here they are:
| Website | Browsers | Operating systems | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Firefox | Internet Explorer | Safari | Chrome | Opera | Windows | Mac | Linux | |
| stillbreathing.co.uk | 51.47% | 29.11% | 9.55% | 5.04% | 1.79% | 75.88% | 16.87% | 6.55% |
| wibsite.com | 69.68% | 18.28% | 4.81% | 4.15% | 1.10% | 77.50% | 15.62% | 6.28% |
| myjournal.com | 34.58% | 51.40% | 8.41% | 2.80% | n/a | 86.92% | 8.41% | 0.93% |
| performerjs.org | 65.73% | 11.32% | 8.45% | 9.77% | 2.88% | 73.52% | 16.72% | 9.11% |
| beatsbase.com | 45.40% | 33.97% | 12.06% | 5.71% | 2.86% | 80.95% | 17.14% | 1.27% |
| comp-unlimited.co.uk | 16.91% | 75.21% | 3.83% | 2.23% | 0.46% | 93.45% | 4.73% | 1.14% |
| Large business website | 7.52% | 81.22% | 9.01% | 1.63% | 0.35% | 90.28% | 8.71% | 0.26% |
That’s pretty much what I expected, with a very large proportion of visitors to the more commercial sites weighted towards Internet Explorer and Windows. For the other sites, particularly those with a heavy web development slant, the statistics show a wider spread of browsers. It’s good to see Chrome making inroads, but these kind of results must be somewhat disheartening for Opera.
