sigh - the end users of the application I'm working on use 70%-90% IE depending on the platform. I wish this would change, but I doubt it as IE still is a major player in the enterprise market.
- kalleboo 15y agoI guess I'm luckily in that at my work, WebKit (Safari+Chrome) represents 60% of the visitors, with the rest being split among Firefox (20%) and IE (10%, which we don't even bother testing for)
- mcosta 15y agoI can't tell numbers but our perception is the same. From these people, who are educated enough to pay for our service? Haha Anyway, it works ie7 upwards (tested), but they are getting hard corners and anybody cares.
- smackfu 15y agoVery odd, what sector has a majority of Safari/Chrome users? Even general public (non-enterprise) wouldn't skew like that.
- rmc 15y agoThe great thing about IE being now a minority browser is that web developers can now say "Oh you want IE6/7/8 support? Oh, that's a minority browser that doesn't support recent things, we can't do that/will charge lots more/etc."
- yuhong 15y agoWhich means we can finally change from text/html to application/xhtml+xml. This way IE8 and earlier users will get a download message, and you won't have to worry about polyglot/Appendix C anymore.
- estel 15y agoMinority? Sure, if compared to every other browser. But in that respect, surely every browser is a minority browser?
- rmc 15y agoNo, IE/IE6 used to be a majority browser. It used to have 80%+ of the browser share. You could not refuse it. Now, you can.
- MartinCron 15y agoI think the phrase you're looking for is "plurality browser".
- dspace 15y ago"The Enterprise" operates at a glacial pace and has been holding back innovation on the web. "The Enterprise" is the reason why 10% of Internet users are still using IE6. I'm glad Mozilla is ignoring the Enterprise.
- tomjen3 15y agoTarget a different market, or at least charge significantly more so you can afford to hire somebody else to do it.
