IE < 9 and Opera Mini http://caniuse.com/#feat=svg-html5 http://caniuse.com/#feat=svg-html5

  Opera Mini has a surprisingly high usage (over 5-8%!) I genuinely had no idea it was so popular.

    Opera mini is very popular in the CIS countries =)

      Is it something to do with the way it handles the Russian language(s)?

        Opera Mini goes through their own proxy essentially. Their goal was to minimize mobile bandwidth but the net effect is bypassing censorship. I work at a public high school and this browser is very popular with the kids on their phones for this reason. There is a good article about it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera_Mini http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera_Mini

    I use it mostly when on data. Even though I have a very high data limit, I find without 4G that it performs much better.

IE8, Android 2.3
- Someone1234 12y ago
  Over 3% of the overall market (thanks to Windows XP/IE 8) and over 9.1% of the Android ecosystem, ouch. Fortunately once 2.3 and below disappear we won't have this problem again with Android, as 4.0 and above are Google Chrome for Android supported (and update via the Play Store). No more tying the OS version to the browser version, which was always a terrible idea (looking at you Microsoft!).

    > No more tying the OS version to the browser version, which was always a terrible idea (looking at you Microsoft!). I mean, this hasn't really been the case ever. IE versions did historically only come out with new OSes, but once out, could be downloaded on the previous few OS versions. So I wouldn't call that tying the versions together. Starting with IE2, which was included with Windows 95 OSR 1 and Windows NT 4.0 but compatible with 3.1 and stock 95, and going all the way to the latest version, IE11, which was released with 8.1 and Server 2012 R2, but can be installed on 7 and Server 2008 R2.

People on Windows 8 cannot install IE 9. Explain to me how this isn't tying one thing to another thing? If IE was stone alone it likely would be backwards compatible with XP. > Starting with IE2, which was included with Windows 95 OSR 1 and Windows NT 4.0 but compatible with 3.1 and stock 95, and going all the way to the latest version, IE11, which was released with 8.1 and Server 2012 R2, but can be installed on 7 and Server 2008 R2. They implement a single OS version backward compatibility, good for them. It doesn't disprove that the two are tied together. The fact you cannot install IE 9 on XP but can install Chrome or Firefox, kind of hurts your case.
