Browser wars

I installed a statcounter on to the blog, and it can throw up some funny results. Our most vituperative troll so far complained I was "anti-English" (?) He's in Indiana... Best bit though:

32.00% MSIE 6.0
20.00% Firefox 1.0.7
10.00% Firefox 1.5
9.00% Firefox 1.0.6
9.00% Firefox 1.4
8.00% Mozilla 5.0
5.00% Safari 1.2
3.00% Opera 8.51
1.00% Firefox 0.10.
1.00% Firefox 0.9.2
1.00% Firefox 1.0+
1.00% Firefox 1.0.4

That's, um, less than a 3rd of visitors still using Internet Exploder. Either we have a particularly well informed readership, or M$ is losing...

It probably just means that you and me go there more than anybody else. Otherwise I'd be surprised if 10% of our visitors really are using Firefox 1.5, considering it's only been out a couple of weeks...

But even so, quite impressive. Well done Not Little England readership!

Actually, at home I'm the 95 on 1.4, on the grounds I haven't installed the upgrade yet, at work I'm on 1.0.7, so it's not me; may be you and others. It's actually just the last 100 page views, it's not aggregated over time, shame but, well, free service, can't complain. Have alook at the stats thing down the bottom right, tis funny...

What time span is 100 views? And how many unique visitors?

Guild website gets 86% MSIE, and that's even taking into account that my development work on the site accounts for up to 2% of all the traffic (that's a lot of refreshes a day) which is all Firefox bar the occasional compatability test.

Approximately one day; 100 unique visitors Friday, 129 page loads, 100 is the highest this week; the link from Boris's site helped there methinks. 34 MSIE 6.0, 1 5.0, all else Fx, Opera or Safari.

If that doesn't work, there's a link direct to the stats on the bottom left of each page.
