When I’m doing web development work (actually mostly editing Cascading Style Sheets), I can’t avoid that browsers render markup differently. Yes, there are standards, but there’s the market reality. Thus, although I edit using Firefox (my regular browser), I really need to check with Internet Explorer.
So, how much of the browser world does my work cover? According to statistics for December 2006 from TheCounter, here’s the top 8 browsers in use (from their list of 18).
1. MSIE 6.x | ![]() ![]() |
19691823 | (70%) |
2. MSIE 7.x | ![]() ![]() |
3491913 | (12%) |
3. FireFox | ![]() ![]() |
3070730 | (11%) |
4. Safari | ![]() ![]() |
830311 | (3%) |
5. MSIE 5.x | ![]() ![]() |
367278 | (1%) |
6. Unknown | ![]() ![]() |
254895 | (1%) |
7. Opera x.x | ![]() ![]() |
163697 | (1%) |
8. Netscape 7.x | ![]() |
98265 | (0%) |
