Hi all, statistics on which browser is actually used can vary very much and are often overinflated.
For instance on a webcomic site I have 80%firefox, with IE losing the second rank to Opera (IE in THIRD). But on other sites I have more classical ratios. On the reverse we have some sites which reject Opera users. So there is a clear relation with general politic opinions of people and the browser they use, people with advanced views supporting new browsers and more corporate-traditionnal minded people still supporting IE. Stats in Nov 2007, as noted by a script: Firefox 388 61% IE 192 30% Opera 22 3% Safari 29 3% Stats in Oct 2008 Firefox 3475 56% Opera 1325 21% IE 937 15% Safari 412 7% On a webcomic site I would enjoy very much to welcome IE users with a "The browser you are using is obsolete and not standard compliant, so it is unable to display this site. Rather use firefox, Opera, etc." This would not be good on a commercial site however, where we must have to do with our client's ways. But why not "Please try this site with a standard compliant browser like Opera or Firefox, and see the difference" Just a little bemol for this however, so long as there is no support for basic functions like sound, download status bars, etc. Still waiting for Opera 10 to do so, and some day for the others. ------------------------------------ ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: [email protected] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ----Yahoo!
