This changes everything.
Submitted by Uncle Ghastly on September 8, 2005 - 18:18
According to the stats for August, almost 75% of the readers of my webcomic are using Mozilla. 23% are using IE and the remaining 2% are an assortment of other 3rd party browsers. Not long ago it was roughly a 50-50 Mozilla/IE split. I guess this means Mozilla is going to be the browser I design future incarnations of the site around (not that it wasn't already since it's the browser I use). Anyone else notice a swing in the browser of choice on their sites?

I'm noticing the same trend, Ghastly. 60% of my visitors use Mozilla. The IE number is down to 20% of the pie chart. Quite amazing when compared to just a few months ago when it was 55 IE/ 35 Mozilla.
(Love your 'toon btw) :)

75% Firefox is about what I have, too.
I'm not too surprised, webcomic readers tend to be younger and more tech savvy than the general populace.
I've had a few Safari users complain that my page doesn't line up right, but they're a minority. Screw 'em :)

I've currently got about 60% firefox/ 25% IE/ 15% other. Though the results may be someone skewed, as my biggest fans *cough*myparents*cough* still use IE...

Does this mean we will see some sort of webcomic extensions for firefox soon?
Yay for Firefox
by Greg Carter - 03/22/2006 - 19:56
MSIE 56.6 %
Firefox 32.4 %
Safari 3.3 %
Mozilla 2.8 %
Unknown 1.9 %
Opera 1.4 %
Netscape 0.7 %
Camino 0.1 %
Konqueror 0.1 %
Other 0.2 %
At the rate Firefox is increasing at my site it will overtake MSIE in a few months. I already design it for Firefox and make a few tweaks for IE, not the other way around.
What about operating systems?
Windows 89.6 %
Macintosh 5.1 %
Linux 2.6 %
Unknown 2.5 %
Linux? Woo hoo!

It's difficult to say

Apparently Webalizer doesn't report on what version of what browser visits my site... rather, it seems to report on what each browser reports itself as, which is something completely different. For many browsers this is configurable, and it's possible to have a browser report itself as more than one type. Which gives me the following statistics:
57.09% Netscape
56.41% Mozilla/5.0
26.34% Micro$oft Internet Exploder
25.49% MSIE 6.0
7.23% Konqueror/3.5
2.18% Opera/8.5
0.91% Konqueror/3.4
0.51% Opera/7.5
0.46% MSIE 7.0
0.43% Mozilla/4.0 (compatible;)
0.38% Dosage 1.5.6 (http://slipgate.za.net/dosage)
0.25% Yahoo! Slurp
0.23% Opera/9.0
0.23% Mediapartners-Google/2.1
0.20% Mozilla/3.01 (compatible;)
So out of "178.34%" of all browsers visiting my site, "%114.13" of them describe themselves as running some kind of Netscape or Mozilla variant...
(What's more amusing to me is that "%26.34" took the time to describe themselves as "Micro$oft Internet Exploder" ... )
My numbers
by Brad Hawkins - 03/22/2006 - 16:07
I'm seeing numbers around 45-50 percent Firefox, 30-40 percent IE. Not quite enough to start building the site out of transparent PNGs, but very encouraging.
My readers are pretty
by Junior.thomas - 03/22/2006 - 15:46
My readers are pretty consistently 60% IE/25% Firefox. They shame me. Where do you get less dumbassed readers anyhow?

Seriously - website design would actually be a pleasant experience if Microsoft would just release a standards-compliant browser.
Maybe if Firefox keeps kicking a$$ Msoft will try harder next version.
