Thanks for this post! All i’ve seen to date are stats from technology heavy sites, thus the users are probably more likely to have a high resolution and another browser besides IE. I’d like to see what the avg screen resolution on colts.com is… I really want to get away from desiging for 800x and use 1024x as my baseline

Computer geeks definately use Firefox more than the average shmoe. I use both. I only use IE now cuz I’m accustomed to it, but I am slowly moving more towards Firefox. Especially lately after getting hit by malware twice in one month while using IE.

Hey Doug,

I’m glad you revisited this with different stats to W3Schools, I was about to write a scathing comment on that post!

The point that has really been uncovered here is that the only stats that matter are the ones for the site you are considering at the time. If for example neither your site nor the Colts site worked in IE, the Colts would have far more problems than you. Each site has to work with it’s audience and the browsers they use.

As an overall measure of browser share at the moment, just to see how Mozilla are doing, I’d like to see Google’s browser stats!

It’s interesting that that would be… but the data does provide evidence you are correct!

It seems to me that people that read blogs tend to use Firefox more. I never use Internet Explorer that much. I’m sure the general public uses it more often.
