Just to give some data: Looking at May, this 1% limit would mean supporting the following browser versions (May 2012 data): * Chrome 18.0 and 19.0 * MSIE 6.0, 7.0, 8.0 and 9.0 * Firefox 3.6, 11.0 and 12.0 * Safari 534.55 (desktop), 6533.18 and 7534.48 (iOS) * Opera 11.62 and 11.64 * Safari 533.1 (Android browser) Furthermore, the following have no version at or over 1%, but do get there or at least near when all versions are combined: * Opera Mini * WikipediaMobile (our own mobile app) * BlackBerry browser * Apple PubSub (rss reader) -- André Engels, [email protected] _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
