spitfire -> cross-browser css - should I be worried? (11/28/2005 13:30:11)

That is a rhetorical question, really, and I don't usually bother too much about what browsers visitors use, other than IE6 and 5 and current versions of Firefox, Opera, Netscape and Safari, because that seems to be the advice on many fora. But I was somewhat surprised to see the following "minority" browsers in use yesterday, on one of the table-less sites I maintain. It is not a site for technorati, but does contain quite a lot of IT stuff.

IE, Firefox 1.x and AOL9.x cover 86% of visitors.
The remaining 14% were using:
AOL 4, 5, 6, 8.
Netscape 2, 3 (seriously!), 4.5, 4.7, 6.
Opera 3, 5, 6, 7.
IE 4.
MSProxy2.

So, 'tis only 14%, but it represents around 2,000 visits. Perhaps I can take heart that many of those were returning visitors and the majority stayed on the site and visited more than the original entry page. Do you think they were able to see anything?[8|]

I would be interested to hear your experiences.

(... are you calling me a pikey?)

I actually met a guy who still uses Netscape 3 as his prime browser - said it makes browsing quicker and cuts out the unecessary bloat - yeah like most of the content, styling, layout...

Well they deserve everything they get. Or rather don't get. I mean! What a plonker Rodney.

Just dashed off to check my stats and luckily I seem to have reasonably sane visitors although I do appear to have one still using the first beta of Firefox and another using Firebird but apart from that they're well balanced and using Netscape 7 upwards, Firefox 1.0.4 upwards, IE 5 and up with a few Operas, Safaris and Mozillas all recent versions.

I'm still running at around 25% of visitors using Firefox. IE is down to 69%.
