No Mod Required

Internet Explorer 7 adoption rate still painfully slow.

It’s been more than a year and I’m still developing for IE6 first. Will it ever dominate the IE landscape?

Here are my numbers from October. Combined IE still dominates, but Firefox has gained a percentage point and a half from the last time I ran these numbers. IE7 has gained as well, just not quick enough for my tastes. It’s up a measly 2% since June:

Firefox (mostly 2.*) 10,618 37.6%
Internet Explorer 6.0 8,515 30.2%
Internet Explorer 7.0 6,558 23.2%
Safari 1,115 3.9%
Opera 565 2.0%

And some interesting stuff from the bottom of the chart:

Playstation Portable 137 0.5%
Playstation 3 29 0.1%
SAMSUNG-SGH-I607 7 0.02%
Palm680 2 0.01%

I have NO idea what this site will look like on either of the Playstation browsers and the Samsung is just a surprise. I wonder if they’re visiting mobile.drunkenfist.com?
