Whilst skimming through my web host logs,
Following on from that, it occurs to me that readers on this group would
be interested in the relative usage of web browsers. Here's what I
pulled from my web stats page:
The top 3 user agents for Dec 2004 were:
# Hits User Agent
1 4076 (36.52%) MSIE 6
2 2356 (21.11%) MSIE 5
3 2117 (18.97%) Mozilla/5
The top 3 user agents for Nov 2004 were:
# Hits User Agent
1 8277 (46.33%) MSIE 6
2 3876 (21.69%) Mozilla/5
3 1264 (7.07%) MSIE 5
The top 3 user agents for Oct 2004 were:
1 8826 (45.46%) MSIE 6
2 3896 (20.07%) Mozilla/5
3 2144 (11.04%) MSIE 5
There is a significant trail-off after the top 3 positions, indicating
that MSIE and Mozilla are the dominant browsers. I get the occasional
hits using Konqueror, Opera (very unpopular!), and Mozilla/4.
The statistics may be skewed in favour of MS because some browsers might
fake their identity as being IE. OTOH, the use of Mozilla might be
overstated compared to the population. My wiki is quite popular, and so
is my computing section. So I probably attract more than my fair share
of alternative browswers.
So there we have it. Interesting, n'est pas?
