This question comes up every now and then and there is a debate on market share, ...etc. Some will point to w3schools, others to other sites.
The fact is: it all depends on the audience of a given site. It varies widely depending on that:
For what's its worth, here are my April statistics for browsers (all browsers with less than 1% share are ignored)
Quasi Techie site MS Internet Explorer 64 % (61% is MS IE 6.0) Firefox 22.4 % Unknown 5.7 % Safari 3 % Mozilla 1.5 % Opera 1.3 %
Non techie niche site (in line with Steven's general web stats). MS Internet Explorer 82.2 % (79% is MS IE 6.0) Firefox 10.6 % Unknown 2.5 % Safari 1.4 % Mozilla 1 %
Just look at the MS IE vs FF. 64:22 in one case, and 82:10 in the other. MS IE is mostly 6.0, so 5.x has very little market share.
Here are the stats for drupal.org from April: Firefox 47.0 % IE 35.7 % Safari 4.1 % Mozilla 4.1 % Opera 3.0 % Unkown 2.2 % Konqueror 1.3 % Wget 0.5 % IE's share has been dropping from 42.4% in September, for May it is currently only at 30.x% Cheers, Gerhard
