Now the Internet browser market presents us with a unpredictable landscape, major internet companies have launched their own browser. Then, various versions and various performance browsers will come into being. In such cases, it seems that Web developers and associated developers who use the program want their own web sites or applications to run in different versions of browsers.

So, for an Internet developer, before you develop an app, it's important to understand the current browsers that people use: what browsers are used to? which version are they using, the low-level or the advanced version? And so on, it all needs to be figured out beforehand. Therefore, it is necessary to have a good analysis of the current situation of browsers in the Internet market. The following may be what you want to know.

1, the most commonly used browser version

StatCounter on the current market share of 0.2% and above the browser we do the statistics, the following figure is statcounter in early June on more than 3 million web browser access to the results of the statistics. This includes more than 15 billion page views, so the statistical results should be able to represent the overall situation.

Analysis Conclusion:

The dominant browser (perhaps you haven't used it yet): IE8.0 is still the most used browser in the world, far more than any other browser. (Translator Note: This may be different in China, after all, the majority of Jingdezhen people like IE6.0 ha!)

The status quo of IE9.0: Although IE9.0 is Microsoft's latest version of IE browser, but its usage has not exceeded IE7.0, of course, at the end of this month, perhaps the form will be changed, now IE9.0 most of the use of Windows system to upgrade the Automatic Updates, but ultimately use or upgrade to IE9 .0 depends on the user's own choice.

Safari, Mac, and The latest version of Ie6:safari, currently 5.0, uses just over 0.1% of the IE6.0, of course, due to the limitations of its use of the environment, Safari is mainly used on the Mac system, however, compared to Windows systems, Mac system market share is too small, and the Mac system's Users can still choose other browsers. However, IE6.0 is the simplest choice for XP users, after all, is built in.

Firefox 4.0 still dominates the Firefox version: Firefox 4.0 has a large portion of Firefox's browser version since its release on March 22.

Beta browsers: There is no doubt that a variety of tests are needed at the start of many browser releases, so a large number of users are using a beta version of the various browsers, the professional version. It is obvious that Chrome and Firefox can be seen in the upcoming release of new browsers, such as Chrome13 and Firefox5.0.

A steady rise in Chrome's share: Google's Chrome browser is famous for its simplicity, Google is gradually upgrading the user's Chrome12 version to Chrome13 (users you should know!)

Wow, ipad: Although the ipad has only been launched for more than a year, the ipad version of Safari already has a 0.68% market share.

Old browser version: From this chart we can see that there are still a lot of users are accustomed to using the old version of the browser, perhaps only in the system to upgrade the time will be reluctant to update their own browser it. (Translator note: At least in Jingdezhen is such a situation, it seems that we should update their software facilities. Yo. )

2, the dominant browser:

Analysis Conclusion:

IE market share decline: In a short time ago, IE has been able to say that dominates the browser's entire market, in 2004, before the Firefox browser out, its market share is basically 95%. But now the situation is decidedly different, ie browser market share is less than 44%.

Chrome's market share is growing fast: while IE's share has fallen sharply, another surprise is that Chrome's market share has soared, with Google's browser launching its shell for less than 3 years.

WebKit growth: If WebKit browsers (such as Chrome and Safari) are added, their market share is 25.35%, compared to Firefox's 28.57%, but this is just the share of desktop PCs, If you add a variety of mobile devices such as the browser on the phone, the situation will be different.
