Opera? Small usage according to my stats though..

Kero hit that one on the head for ya, or at least according to my own personal studies and the such |santa|

I just checked another domain and it's practically the same too... Had me curious if they varied across my domains much :)

Nice sig quote RivalDiamondz... Anne Rice is a favorite :)

here are my stats, hope they help ;)

MS Internet Explorer 67.6 %
Unknown 22.2 %
FireFox 5.1 %
Netscape 2 %
NetShow Player (media player) 1.2 %
Mozilla 0.5 %
Safari 0.3 %
Opera 0.3 %
Sony/Ericsson Browser (PDA/Phone browser) 0.1 %
Konqueror 0.1 %
Others 0.1 %

I just did a simple poll question in another board that is for just users and came up with about the same stats that you did kero *Shrugs and begins searching his computer for where those numbers went to*

Kero - Thanks bud, I'm almost at the end of Memnoch right now, gotta love Mrs. Rice

You should be aware that
Mozilla = Firefox = Netscape

They all use the same layout rendering engine called Gecko

So if a page loads up a certain way in Netscape, it'll load up exactly same in Firefox.

It's just rebranding with different features.

You should check your sites with:
Firefox
IE
Opera

Being as I'm a Mac user I check my sites in Safari, Mozilla, IE, and Opera.

Safari uses the Khtml engine which is the same engine that the Linux browser Konqueror uses. I heard that Konqueror was being ported to Windows but don't know if it has been or not.

Here is a large sample from November 2004:

1. MSIE 6.x 72024369 (80%)
2. MSIE 5.x 10335726 (11%)
3. Mozilla 2322825 (3%)
4. Unknown 1492860 (2%)
5. Netscape 5.x 1381298 (2%)
6. Netscape 7.x 730865 (1%)
7. Safari 683208 (1%)
8. Opera x.x 591261 (1%)
9. Netscape comp. 501012 (1%)
10. MSIE 4.x 197220 (0%)
11. Netscape 4.x 152671 (0%)
12. Netscape 6.x 51372 (0%)
13. Konqueror 40669 (0%)
14. MSIE 3.x 5647 (0%)
15. Netscape 3.x 4101 (0%)
16. Netscape 2.x 433 (0%)
17. Netscape 1.x 34 (0%)

wish it were mine |rasta|

I build in Firefox and test with IE. Surfers using other browsers will be buried where they fall.
