Browser usage for February 2007: three browsers to test, no Vista
It now looks like web folks are stuck testing at least three browsers to make sure their sites work. For February on the UW home page, IE was splitting 72.5% of users 60/40 between version 6 and version 7 while Firefox had 24% usage. Safari is a distant third at 2.18% but it is the only other browser above a half a percentage point of users.
What I think is more interesting this month is the platforms. Mac has a good hold on 4.8% and MS Windows 94.36% but Vista was 0.63% of Windows users for the month. Windows 98 has more at 0.75%. A look ahead at March so far has Vista up to 1% of Windows users so it is gaining ground and is probably something web folks on campus are going to need to consider for testing by the summer.
Since I am looking ahead… Firefox is up to 26.55% of users for March so far. No idea why Firefox has jumped in usage over the past two months but it is a good sign
