Site Browsing Stats, November 2004
In honor of the November official launch of Firefox 1.0, and because I happened to be looking at my site stats tonight, here’s the breakdown of the browser usage for this site, as reported by my stats package, awstats. Unknown is anything the package has never heard of, whereas Others are known browsers, too small to list separately. This includes things like wget and curl, and even 57 hits from a pre-Firefox copy of Firebird. :

Others 861 0.9 %I’m very proud of my readers for using Firefox far more than Internet Explorer. As to the 30.4%, and you know who you are, go on. Try it. All the cool kids are doing it.

wow, thatz impressive, and gives me hope. only 15% of mine are on FF.. while 63% are still on craptastic IE browsers.
Taunt them
Take drastic measures. Taunt your users. Post my stats and ask your users if they’re going to let a crappy little blog like mine beat them.
Say what you will about plug-ins, extensions, tabs, etc.
I use the ‘Fox for one main reason: it’s hella safer. Between the popup blockers, no active-x support, more script safety and no in-bred, west-virginian integration with the OS, it’s an all around safer alternative.
To me everything else it offers is just gravy on the meal.
