I was taking a look at google analytics today, and decided to take a look at the browser percentages. I was a little surprised when I saw the results; 60.1% Firefox, 13.9% Safari, 7.9% Mozilla, 5.9% Opera, 5.5% Chrome, and 2.9% Internet Explorer, since the beginning of the year. The sort of crowd that read my blog I’d expect to be using Firefox, but maybe not such a high percentage. Pretty pleased that Safari is in second, and not totally sure what Mozilla is, but probably just the other mozilla based browsers like IceWeasel. Also a little surprised with the amount of Opera users, but not too much. But the biggest surprise was IE, I never expected I’d get so few IE users, and I’m very happy about this!

Even though I have taken to not hacking my site so much, I’m still pleased that I can basically ignore having to even try making my site IE compatible. I know I’m likely to get some responses to this saying that I should still do it, but you know what? Screw that! if people are stupid enough to still be using IE (even if it has improved in some very good ways in recent times), then I don’t care what sort of experience they have on my site. They’re in the vast minority, and they annoy me, so stuff ‘em.

Yep, not a terribly indepth or interesting post, I know, but I needed to post something… my hits were dropping!

‘Till next time,
