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.

May 2010 was the first full month that this blog was online, so I’d thought i’d share some stats from this. This is something I hope to do each month.

The stats are from the AWStats log analyzer tool on the control panel of my hosting account.

All

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	184109	56.1%
FireFox	67916	20.7%
Google Chrome	34301	10.4%
Safari	21752	6.6%
Opera	3943	1.2%

MSIE

The vast majority of MSIE hit came from the three latest versions, 8, 7 and 6. It’s particularly nice to IE6 trailing off, although not as quickly as I would have liked.

Msie 8.0	84335	25.7%
Msie 7.0	72962	22.2%
Msie 6.0	26676	8.1%

And a small bit of wierdness: One hit from MSIE 2.0, which celebrates it 15th birthday in November of this year! Who still uses that?

Firefox

There are, quite simply, millions (62, actually) of different versions of Firefox that browsed this site in May 2010, ranging from 1.0.1 (2 hits) to 3.6.4 (57 hits). The largest number of hits came from version 3.6.3 and accounted for 12% of all browser hits.
