Hi
i just want to known ..what are the browsers mostly used in current market and also i need to known what are all the browsers we need to check our newly created site. Browsers i check is IE6 7 and 8 and Mozilla 3.0 ..

guys please share you thoughts.!

[TylerCollins]

I check IE7/8/9 Firefox 3/4 Opera, Safari & Chrome on both PC and MAC

[Ste Hughes]

IE 7-9

Firefox 3 and 4

safari

chrome

all on pc, don't check mac (have no access to one or I would)

[MikeChipshop]

I check on...

PC

• IE 6.5, 7, 8 and 9 (however clients pay a premium to have IE 6.5 support and i refuse anything below that or Mac IE)
• Firefox 3.x and 4
• Chrome 10+
• Opera (Always on latest build)
• Safari (Always latest build)

Mac

• Safari (Always latest build)
• Firefox (Always Latest build)

Mobile

• iPad Safari
• Android (built in browser and Dolphin)
• Blackberry Browser

Even though i routinely check on these browsers, i 'm not that bothered by fails in older browsers or mobile devices (unless the client requests this). Lately i've had a lot of client requests for video etc with out Flash, so it seems internet users are slowly driving forward browser update progression.

Here's the official percentage of what browsers people are using:

2011 Internet Explorer Firefox Chrome Safari Opera
March 25.8 % 42.2% 25.0% 4.0% 2.5%
February 26.5 % 42.4% 24.1% 4.1% 2.5%
January 26.6 % 42.8% 23.8% 4.0% 2.5%

I check my websites in IE 7 and 8 (have yet to start checking in 9), Firefox, Chrome and Safari.

[goacites]

I usually test on only chrome.... at least the basic works fine and chrome almost never takes from the cache,so even small changes will be visible, without having to delete the History.

[Mahfuz Tuhin]

opera 11.10, Firefox 3.0, chrome, safari.....serially with my choice.

[Smartappz]

Wow, so chrome is creeping up, IE down.
Chrome should take a massive surge when the chromebooks are leased at $20 per month.

What is the source of this data? I am believing that less individuals are using IE but quite surprise with this result... Still higher than Chrome...

[Fredrik Robert]

Hi,

There are many resources which provide the data regarding the same topic but in my opinion and experience most of the people worldwide use Chrome , Firefox and IE mostly. I do use these all to but i have other browser's installed like opera and safari.


Thanks

Totally off topic, but your location made me laugh out loud: "NY (India branch)"

That's what I like to see - some transparency!!

[zed]

damn those mods!

[oakleaves]

I wonder if Fredrik and Robert were the only English / American sounding names 'mr asif newyork' knew?

[zed]

maybe they've been clever and adapted a captcha app to bung out English sounding names?

I think this thread ranks highly on their to-do list.. I must read for all wannabe American developers living in India

Don't worry guys - I've been spamming their Indian SEO forum with the pseudonym Gubta Singh for months now..

I would also recommend checking on Opera Mini/Mobile, it's one of the most popular mobile browsers.

That's a bit different to the stats I saw recently. Can't remember where it was now but I'm pretty sure it was a reputable source.

Had IE as about 41% worldwide market share, with chrome and firefox around 25% ish (chrome inching ahead of firefox for the first time)

[Georgew]

W3Schools stats are not representative of the entire internet. Disclaimer on the site there.

That is rather detailed, lots of version numbers included.

Why not? Less and less people use IE mainly because "there is always something wrong" with IE when making a website.

I think it's also down to your visitor base for your product / service. With standard corporate users on Windows and IE it's horses for courses. My stats for a project in January.

IE 44.61% (v8 > v9 > v7 > v6)
Safari 29.96% (Too many versions to bother writing)
Chrome 16.08%
Opera 0.40%

Throw in the middle a touch of Android and Moz compatible agent and you got a right mix. I test IE 7 & 8 XP (8 & 9 on Win 7), Opera, Chrome, Firefox, Safari and a few phones I got around the place.

If you code compliant then 98% (ish) of the time it'll work in all browsers with only a few pixel spacing issues.

Oh and as for Mac ... Pshhh get a PC

I use IE, Firefox mostly apart from that Google Chrome. Opera and the rest never really make it onto my pc, those 3 are the best ones I think.

you only test on chrome so what about the masses of users on IE, FF, safari, Opera etc testing on one browser is a recipe for disaster

Not to mention the claim "chrome almost never takes from the cache" which is complete rubbish!

[Arister Fileppo]

Top four browser:

Fire Fox, Google Chrome, Maxthon and Internet Explore.

[Private-I]

looking at some statistics posted firefox is ahead of IE? I'm surprised. I use both but people not really into computers wouldn't know anything apart from IE, so surely that's got to be in the lead. and it comes pre-installed on every computer. not saying it's better, just has to be more dominant due to microsoft's market position.

[DreamDezign]

Chrome started to take the lead but still FF & IE have there stake in the market. so it will be fine if you check your site in these three.

[Kerri]

It's always a good idea to test in as many browsers as reasonably possible, but as a rule of thumb, I always check IE, Chrome, FF, Opera and Safari. I always think about who the audience is, and then base my further testing on that appropriately.

A nice little website that's worth checking out is: http://gs.statcounter.com/ - I'm not vouching for it's credibility, but I think that it shows quite an accurate trending snapshot.
