- drhowarddrfine 17y agoInteresting. I have two fast food restaurant sites and, from memory, IE is about the same but most of the rest is Firefox. I know we have that many IE6 users because they're next door to a huge financial institution which is also their largest customer.
- topbanana 17y agoYou have an extraordinarily high proportion of Chrome users.
- dannyr 17y agoI do. I just launched last week and I kind of launched here on Hacker News.
- DarkShikari 17y agoThe last 500 visitors to my blog ( http://x264dev.multimedia.cx/ http://x264dev.multimedia.cx/ ), batched by major version: 28.80% Firefox 3.5.X 24.00% Firefox 3.0.X 11.60% Chrome 0.2 9.80% Safari 1.2 7.60% Mozilla 5.0 7.20% Opera 9.X 3.80% MSIE 7.0 3.00% MSIE 8.0 2.60% MSIE 6.0 0.40% Konqueror 4.2 0.40% Firefox 1.5.0 0.40% Firefox 2.0.0 0.20% Opera 5.02 0.20% Opera 4.2.1 Speaking of which, I should probably upgrade from the crappy stat counter thing I'm using to Google Analytics (edit: and done).

- spencerfry 17y agohttp://www.carbonmade.com http://www.carbonmade.com 1. Firefox 48.11% 2. Internet Explorer 25.20% 3. Safari 20.09% 4. Chrome 4.28% 5. Opera 1.89% Our users are very design centric, so IE being at only 25% makes sense.

- nimbix 17y ago1. Firefox 438,766 65.61% 2. IE 191,652 28.66% 3. Chrome 19,911 2.98% 4. Opera 10,686 1.60% 5. Safari 4,979 0.74% This is not a tech-oriented site; but it is mainly aimed at young people (15-25).
- Ardit20 17y agoFunny as mines aimed at young people and it seems we have the users in direct symmetry regarding firefox and ie.
- nimbix 17y agoWe're based in Slovenia, a country with a very high percentage of FF users. We used to be in 2. place, right after Finland, but I'm not sure about current stats. Why FF is so popular here is a different question. My theory is that it has a lot to do with every forum over here having a tech support section and that the first advice everyone gets there is "install FF"! :)
- dannyr 17y agoThis is interesting. I would think there would be more Safari than Chrome. A lot of young people use Macs. It's possible they chose to use Firefox instead.
- nimbix 17y agoThe site is very locally oriented (it's a community site featuring news/events/discussions/image galleries for a small city) and the only "Macs" we're seeing around here are iPods.
- Ardit20 17y agoWhy do you want to know anyway?
- huhtenberg 17y agoWe launched one of the projects recently and ran a short campaign on StumbleUpon. This generated ~1500 uniques out of 2000 we had so far. Respective browser distribution is as follows: 82% Firefox 9% Internet Explorer 4% Safari 2% Opera 1% Mozilla 1% Chrome ..

- timdorr 17y agoWhat's the breakdown of IE usage?
- c1sc0 17y agoI'm interested in seeing mobile stats (iPhone vs. the rest?) of some sites. Anyone care to share those numbers? More particularly: is the 70% iPhone number I get from my stats realistic and how does that breakdown change once a mobile-specific site is launched?

- frossie 17y agoThat's really interesting. Give the enormous size of the Greek expatriate population, I would have expected stronger showings from some of the countries with immigrant Greeks (eg. Australia - cue the joke about Melbourne being the second largest Greek city in the world), especially since they would have less access to traditional forms of recipe sharing (such as cookbooks, friends). Assuming you are interested in attracting more traffic (which granted you may not be), you might want to look at targeting some of those communities via some well placed advertising.
