Which Browser Do You Use?

I'm fascinated to see from my blog stats that only about four out of every seven of my visitors use Internet Explorer.

To be more precise, we're talking 57.0% Internet Explorer; 31.3% Gecko-based browsers; 7.2% Opera; 3.1% other browsers; and 1.4% older versions of Netscape. Or if you want a more detailed breakdown:

51.9%.... Internet Explorer 6
20.5%.... Firefox 1.x
 7.0%.... Opera 7
 6.2%.... Firefox 0.x
 3.0%.... Mozilla 1.x
 2.8%.... Internet Explorer 5
 2.8%.... Safari
 2.1%.... AOL 9
 1.6%.... Netscape 7
 1.1%.... Netscape 4
 0.3%.... Netscape 3
 0.3%.... Konqueror
 0.1%.... Opera 8

And Opera 6, AOL 8, Other/Unknown, AOL 6, and AOL 5, less than 0.1% each.

Not exactly typical of Internet users as a whole, where Internet Explorer use just recently dropped below 90% for the first time in years.

While we're at it, operating systems used by my visitors are Windows, 89.6%; Linux, 4.5%; Mac OS X, 3.5%; Other/Unknown, 1.4%; Other Macintosh, 0.7%; SunOS, 0.15%; and a single user of FreeBSD. Of course, XP accounts for about three-quarters of the Windows users, with most of the remainder evenly divided between Windows 2000 and Windows 98.

Standard Disclaimer: I myself am a long-time Opera user, and am running under Linux— Mandrake 10.1, to be precise.
