Browser share?
Over the past thirty days, these have been the popular browsers to this website:

Firefox: 51% of all visitors
IE: 34% of all visitors
Chrome: 7% of all visitors
Opera: 5% of all visitors
Safari: 4% of all visitors
Seamonkey: 1% of all visitors

Essentially, they are the Google Chrome equivalents to derivatives of Mozilla Firefox (like Flock, K-Meleon, etc.) Their main advantage is that they tend to have more up-to-date features compared to Chrome (like having the latest version of WebKit), have more built-in features compared to Chrome (mouse gestures, ad-block, etc.), while removing all the malicious features Chrome has.Anyhow: what are these derivatives? I've never heard of either of them...
I like the look of those. Chrome is a very nice browser. I upgraded to FireFox 3 with much annoyance... the bloat is getting out of control.

Interesting to see the browser stats.
Here, I am still using Opera on Windows. But I have Classilla on my Lombard and am really liking it.
As this is a Mac site you may have missed it, but there was an interesting blog post on the PC Pro website about their site's browser statistics. He was asking why some people had visited the site on an Amiga. And plenty of people where asking why Windows 95 was so high up on the list.

I just checked the stats for the extremely popular stevecoates.net website and found that Internet Explorer and Firefox are the two most popular browsers used to visit my site. Opera comes third, which means that other people must visit the site more than I do.
This month the site has received five hits from ClockWise's Kegs page and about 80 hits from Google Images.
The search keywords is always interesting. It seems alot of people have found my site by looking for information on Avo Meters and Trinitron monitors which is something my site has pages about. But someone came there by searching for 'stephen coates geography'. I searched for that on google, and the first result is an RTF file containing my CV. I'm surprised google indexed that. I only put it there to show to some people in an IRC channel. I'm not sure whether it being there is a good thing or not .

Maybe I am the only active registered member here who use Seamonkey as default browser on Windows.ClockWise wrote: Seamonkey: 1% of all visitors
Seamonkey is the only real direct descendant of Netscape Communicator and is still being actively developed.

And still with all its features: Browser, Composer, Mail, NewsGroups, ChatZilla IRC client.yksoft1 wrote:Seamonkey is the only real direct descendant of Netscape Communicator and is still being actively developed.
I always update to the latest version (MacOSX), but I hardly use it anymore. The Composer can be useful for simple editing of existing web pages, but it has the nasty habit of changing source formatting.

You may want to try Kompozer instead. It's an updated, standalone composer derived from the Mozilla composer.I always update to the latest version (MacOSX), but I hardly use it anymore. The Composer can be useful for simple editing of existing web pages, but it has the nasty habit of changing source formatting.
Because it was the last version of Windows that wasn't bloated (other than NT4).And plenty of people where asking why Windows 95 was so high up on the list.

Thanks. I tried Kompozer on an existing XHTML 1.0 Transitional page that passes W3C markup validation fine, but Kompozer clearly shows where it comes from:Ambassador wrote:You may want to try Kompozer instead.
It has the same annoying habit as Composer in SeaMonkey of changing source formatting (hard-wrapping text), even when "Retain original source formatting" is selected in preferences.
It also adds by itself returns (<br /> tags) when I do nothing but adding some text to an existing paragraph without ever touching the enter or return key.
And it changed by itself coding in a list (with CSS showing as a menu) from
Code: Select all
<li><a class="bottom" href="javascript: void(0)"></a></li>
Code: Select all
<li><a class="bottom" href="javascript: void(0)" /><br />
</li>
It would be nice to have a simple WYSIWYG editor that respects existing code.

According to cnet, Chrome is growing among everyone, not just the sort of tech-savvy people that visit this place:
http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10423733-2.html
"Chrome jumped from 3.9 percent to 4.6 percent of usage, according to statistics that analytics firm Net Applications publishes based on the 160 million monthly visitors to the network of Web sites using its services. Safari increased from 4.4 percent to 4.5 percent."
"Also according to Net Applications' statistics, Microsoft's Internet Explorer continued its steady slide, dropping from 63.6 percent to 62.7 percent usage. Most of IE's share loss has been picked up by No. 2 Firefox, but that open-source browser slipped from 24.7 percent to 24.6 percent from November to December."
