I was looking through the blog’s stats, and the browser and OS stats seemed kind of interesting.
- 63% Firefox
- 15% Chrome
- 10% Safari
- 8% Internet Explorer
- 40% Macintosh
- 37% Windows
- 16% Linux
- 2% iPad
- 2% iPhone
- < 1% Android
- < 1% Other Unix
Based on what I’ve been seeing from more generic reports, that seems atypical. I’m surprised that Chrome isn’t closer to or a bigger percentage than Firefox. I’d expect Safari and IE to be reversed, but they are pretty close. It seems that fewer of my visitors who use Macs use Safari than I would’ve thought.
For this blog, that’s pretty much just trivia. If you are someone who has to make decisions based off this kind of data, though, I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to collect your own data rather than relying on what others report. e.g. When I was in the shrink-wrapped software business, Macs made up a lot more of my company’s market than the general marketshare they held at the time.
