    Here are some interesting stats: http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp[^] Chrome is very nearly more popular than IE. Ok, these are taken from a single site's visitor logs, but the trend there is pretty clear: IE and Firefox are loosing ground steadily, and most of it is going to Google... Interesting to see what they are for this place, assuming the hamsters write it down each time!

      So it is in fact less popular.

          The stats are for w3schools.com which is a website related (in some way) to programming. It would be nice to have these statistics from some other general-purpose website such as bbc, yahoo, google etc to see the real trend. The stats of tech sites will be biased against IE anyway.

              these stats are biased; w3schools is all about standards, of course IE numbers would be low. And yes Chris has CP numbers, first there is GoogleAnalytics, and second I trust he keeps track himself too. It would indeed be nice to have them available in a pretty graph versus time; actually I'd like to have two, one with all versions separate, the other aggregated by browser family. :)

                    More likely we don't accept the default and have a tendency to try a wider range of tools. Joe Public will normally accept the default and bitch at you if you change their favourite tool.

                      I remember a post a couple of months back, i think it was from Nishant, asking if Chris would publish some of the CP GA stats, did he [chris] ever post any?

                        Not that I can recall. Anyway it always sounded like Chris was determined to support all kinds of browsers, including IE6 which is/was very popular in the East; this would make stats less relevant. I also am sensing he is getting somewhat less determined recently. You are referring to this thread[^]? :)

                                  I found out from my companies logs that we actually have customers still running a combination of Win95 with IE 5.5...

                                  I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

                                    Here are some interesting stats: http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp[^] Chrome is very nearly more popular than IE. Ok, these are taken from a single site's visitor logs, but the trend there is pretty clear: IE and Firefox are loosing ground steadily, and most of it is going to Google... Interesting to see what they are for this place, assuming the hamsters write it down each time!

                                    I'll try to make a point of visiting there more freqently to represent for IE.

                                      The stats are for w3schools.com which is a website related (in some way) to programming. It would be nice to have these statistics from some other general-purpose website such as bbc, yahoo, google etc to see the real trend. The stats of tech sites will be biased against IE anyway.

                                      Thats because most people are idealistic and paranoid instead of realistic and rational.

                                        So it is in fact less popular.

                                        Yes but stupidity is also quite popular, but it does not make it right

                                        I may or may not be responsible for my own actions

                                          Is everyone on this site fascinated by statistics? I think we ought to have apoll and publish the results! :)

                                          Only when they support their own prejudices. But isn't that statistically true at large?
