I was just wondering what percentage of users here on Macrumors are coming from IE, and what percentage come from Safari? How many pc/mac users are on the site?

Interesting, not the numbers but a Arn response i was wondering if you were still alive Safari is my favorite but im using MSIE at the moment. Firefox is still gaining.

 

[MacNut]

Can you do another breakdown of what Mac users are using for web browser. How many are still on IE compared to Safari ect ect.

Doctor Q, where are you?

Hey... that rhymes.... ....kinda...

14.9% FireFox

That's weird, from how everyone on these boards praises Firefox, I would have thought more people used it...

Look's like FireFox is catching up Although I'm very bad for the moment: Wintel+MSIE

*Slaps wrist* Shame on you!

I don't know about other users, but my traffic on evenings and weekends is Mac/FF and my traffic during the week is sometimes Win/FF, because I use our lab computers, although recently, I've been bringing my iBook with me, so I can run simulations on one screen and surf on the other.

When I'm at work (and forced to use Windows) I use a local install of Firefox as it's the best browser on Windows. I find that it's not quite as Mac-like as I'd want it to be, so I use Safari on OSX. I'd imagine that quite a few people feel the same...

 

[PlaceofDis]

is it just me, or are those high percents of unknowns?

 

[Platform]

Yeah and what can they be

Yes I know *shameful*

I want to get a Mac but I don't have the money, but when I do I will buy one

Nah, using Windows, that's understandable. but MSIE. That's just cold.

 

[Mechcozmo]

OmniWeb, Lynx, Camino, iCab, and uh.... thats it for the top of my head. I bet I'm forgetting some.

There're a few regulars who use Shiira too. And maybe a couple of Opera'rs. If Camino and Mozilla are considered part of the other group, then I bet they're the biggest part...

 

[Lacero]

I'm sorry but people who still use Windows and MSIE just plain disgust me!

Hey now, Platform is one of us!

 

[PlaceofDis]

IE is bad, but whatever floats their boat

i guess im part of the unknowns, since i use Camino just about exclusively, although im debating going back to Safari (been getting too many pop-ups)

I know, I have both FireFox and Netscape installed but I don't like their interface on windows.

OK if you think so, you are allowed to

Completley forgot about those

I think OmniWeb and Camio are quite good but they are not free

 

[PlaceofDis]

i think OmniWeb is the only browser that is NOT free out there, unless you count paying for an OS a cost for a browser (ie Safari and IE)

Camino is free, as are the vast majority of em out there


i just want to see some improvement in Camino, its been a while since an update was released for it

 

[Daveway]

Is the % for MSIE for Mac users?
If it is i'm VERY surprised to see that people still use IE on macs.

Ah, yes... forgot about them.

Actually IE is free. Linkety And it is "integrated" into Win98 and up... but it was free for Win95, too. Just wasn't integrated into the entire operating system.
