Here are few snippets from the monthly stats of this site from June 2010. For a full breakdown of browser stats, follow this link.
The stats are from the AWStats log analyzer tool on the control panel of my hosting account.
Here are the stats from the most significant browser hits above 1%. MSIE is way out in the lead, but somewhat down I would suspect on where it was a couple of years ago.
| Internet Explorer | 140230 | 54.9% (-1.2%) |
| FireFox | 52953 | 20.7% (no change) |
| Google Chrome | 32572 | 12.7% (+2.3%) |
| Safari | 15640 | 6.1% (-0.5%) |
| Mozilla | 3167 | 1.2% |
| Opera | 2267 | 0.8% (-0.4%) |
MSIE
The vast majority of MSIE hit came from the three latest versions, 8, 7 and 6.
| Msie 8.0 | 66337 | 25.7% (+0.2%) |
| Msie 7.0 | 50396 | 19.7% (-2.5%) |
| Msie 6.0 | 23391 | 9.1% (+1.0%) |
One hit from MSIE 2.0, again this month. It celebrates it 15th birthday in November of this year! Who still uses that? There was also a curious hit from MSIE 999.1 which is most likely a spoofed browser agent. Read about this more here.
For further reading if you are interested, David Bradley has written more about site stats and MSIE 2.0 on his ScienceText Bog
Vexingly enough MSIE 6 saw a something of a resurgence, up 1%. When will people realise that its funeral has already been held?
Firefox
No real movement here. Just 8 hits from Firefox 3.8.
Chrome
Chrome saw the biggest gains this month (+2.3%). I suspect this is due in part to the fact that I have started administering this blog with it.
Thanks for the shout out!
It’s quite fascinating reading these stats, isn’t it? I’ve seen 3 MSIE 2 visitors so far this month. Similarly, about a dozen people using version 2 or lower of Firefox. 34 Netscape users! And, 1 Lynx user!
One of the most telling changes is that Chrome now represents about 10% of my visitors.
