Which browsers are being used and which OS is popular?
I’m always interested in this kind of information, but finding a good source for it is far from easy.
For my own amusement I thought I’d compare two sites I manage for the year to date.
The sites I choose were this one and search.ie and the results are hardly surprising:
Mneylon.com Browsers:
Mneylon.com Operating Systems
Mneylon.com Connection Speed
Compare that to:
Search.ie Browsers
Search.ie Operating Systems
Search.ie Connection Speed
As could be expected this site attracts “geekier” types, so they’re predominantly on broadband and using alternatives to Internet Explorer. A large number of them don’t use windows as their OS.
Search.ie, on the other hand, is dominated by Windows users who use Internet Explorer and are on dialup.
What use is this info?
Not a that much use really, but I could use it to tweak search.ie so that it was more 56k friendly, while I could work on the assumption that anybody who made it here won’t notice if I’ve posted a couple of photos, or whatever 🙂
Browser / OS Usage
I once looked at inphotos.org on dialup and it was scary. Hearing the connection being made did give me a nostalgic twinge, but only for a moment!
Donncha – nostalgia.. when it comes to dialup, I can live without it 🙂
Michele, your stats resemble mine. They are several years ahead of their time.
