You can never be too sure how accurate these figures are, but I came across some interesting statistics while researching another article:
Internet Explorer | 73.01% |
---|---|
Firefox | 19.03% |
Safari | 6.31% |
... and the rest | 1.65% |
With over 25% of the web using Firefox and Safari, the browser wars are definitely back on. As a web developer, you certainly can’t ignore these browsers now. Not even for intranet development, in my opinion.
The use of alternative browsers is only going to increase, I believe, with increasing market share of Safari in the mobile market, and release of Firefox 3.0 increasing its adoption in the desktop market.
