    It would've been very different a couple of years ago (before the dhtml boards here worked on mozilla based browsers!!) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

      humm... when I posted the message (few hours ago) I was the second browser collected. Now, considering Europe mighday and American wake-up, and cosiderng many CPians to go there ... may be it's normal to find many "windows users". Asians ... had probaly lost the post, and will read this evening (Europe late afternoon). And we had collected CP users's browsers. But ... how about if the same post wuold be done on a Linux forum ?!? 2 bugs found. > recompile ... 65534 bugs found. :doh:

      Currently about 6% of people are using Linux, which I suppose is not too surprising given where we've all come from. The majority of the hits so far have been from Europe with just under 50% of people using Firefox and just under 40% using IE. It'll be interesting to see if this changes significantly when America wakes up. I don't know any linux forums to ask the question in. Do you?

          Would anyone like to take part in a quick poll to see what browser/OS we all use? If so, head on over to http://davidsalter.co.uk/browser/[^] and log your browser details. This should settle the Linux v's Windows debate once and for all :~ :~

                          I use IE (actually Maxthon) for accessing CodeProject and Microsoft only. So in this case my browser is logged as IE but my primary browser is Firefox.

                              Thats correct. There's not a lot of science here, just a quick poll.

                                  My primary browser is Maxthon (so IE) it is really so much better than any other interface by default. However I use FireFox at home because it loads pages on my satellite connection faster. Logged in poll as FireFox.

                                  This demographic will quite happily click on shiny things however:laugh:

                                    Just to screw up your stats I visited the page on IE 1.0 on 95 (needless to say, in VMware). ...well, I *tried*. I couldn't even get that far. :-p

                                          Why Opera? A lot of little things, such as:- Pressing F12 to bring up pop up menu that allows me to change a few simple things such as allowing popup windows for sites the insist on using them. The 'status bar' on the bottom that gives info on the page loading MY PC is dual boot NT and XP. the same settings work on both, like Firefox, I get the same bookmarks on each system. I can access IMAP mail boxes using it. I have the Ads version, I just don't see the ads anymore. A few bits annoy me, like it still crashes on me. Firefox almost does everything I want, tabbed windows, mouse gestures etc. but not everything yet, and as the saying goes, 'better the devil you know'! Perhaps I should ask why IE?
