Xaby – We just helped one of our clients update from IE6, so I’m right there with you.

Satya – Very true! It’s a tech-savvy demographic over at W3Schools

SMiGL – /agree. Much love for Analytics

Inside the Webb – Thank you! That’s very kind.

W3C global stats are more accurate, but I feel that the best web browser market share info is here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers

Net Applications in particular utilizes a huge data set. They also have resolutions, operating systems, etc:

I really wish people would stop recommending the regular W3C page. They even indicate on the page itself that they have higher than normal rates for non-IE browsers due to their subject matter.

Thanks for the info. And talking about this, IE 6 came to my mind as THE browser where many developers and designers are dropping support for. How i wish all browsers would adhere to a common standard to make things easier for us all.

Unlike Google Analytics, W3Counter does track JavaScript usage on your website. When JavaScript is not available for tracking, it falls back to using a tracking image, which lets it record that JavaScript was disabled.
