Hows linux doing at mybroadband?
Ouch. Don't worry, it will pick up. We all know it will, once Windows 7 comes out. Or Ibex.
Got a friend that's a web developer and his site stats (for those he does on the side) is roughly 70% IE, 20% FF and the rest Opera, etc.

I wonder how the iPhone and iPod Touch will affect browser stats because these devices use mobile Safari. Wonder if it will increase Safari's market share?

This should probably have read:
otherwise it'd just be contradicting the stats given before that. Anyhow, go web standards! I don't really care which browser prevails, but I do think choice and competition is a good thing - especially when the competition is greater standards compliance. IE6 was and remains the bane of every web developer's life...
Interestingly, IE8 Beta 1 gets further on the latest ACID3 test than FF3.

The only thing I agree with is that FireFox 3 was seriously overhyped. I tried it, and left it after 2 weeks. I'm sticking to Avant Browser, with a market share so small it's not even mentioned. Now that's elite!

Would you like one of us to show you how to actually use a web browser?

It amazes me that 51% of the people on this forum still access it without using a browser...

I'm using this website on my Sony Ericsson UIQ phone with Opera Mini, are there any stats for Opera Mini users?

Snobbery will get you nowhere. I found Firefox annoying slow after using Avant Browser. I don't doubt that Firefox is better than IE, and probably Safari (or at least Safari on a PC), but I did not see any features that made it stand out above Avant. On my #1 criterion (speed), at least, it was worse. Please, list what makes it great for you. The only thing I see that makes it special is the plugins.Would you like one of us to show you how to actually use a web browser?
Have you even tried the latest version of Avant, mister high-and-mighty?

I tried it years ago... I do admit IE seems to at least start up faster... but on loading pages there is no way it is faster than Firefox. And yes... all the add-ons are what attracts me.
See these posts of mine here...

Avant is just a front-end for IE... Firefox also allows me to view pages in IE when I need to.... via the IE View Add-in... so I can have the best of both worlds.
I also have Opera loaded for when I need it.... I did not like Safari at all.

I know it's just a front for IE and not a real browser, but I noticed a visual difference in loading time. I'd do a timing test, if not for stupid ADSL latency at the moment. Avant has come a long way.
Nevertheless, not needing any plugins, my Firefox 3 experience was underwhelming, and not enough to keep me on it.
