Which browser? Firefox? Internet Explorer?

Which browser do YOU use? In a completely non-scientific study, the chances are that you use Firefox. You’re probably also using Windows.

I was examining the FeedBurner stats for this blog, which arguably is read by a technically savvy subset of the computer-using world. Specifically, the subset that is aware that you can choose which browser you use, and are not locked into the one which shipped with your operating system, or which your operating system manufacturer urged you to install. Further, this is a subset that knows how to evaluate a browser.

FeedBurner told me that we had the following usage for Friday, Feb. 23 (a day which had heavier-than-usual traffic):

Firefox 2.0.x: 39%
Firefox 1.5.x: 13%
All Firefox: 52%

Internet Explorer 7.x: 20%
Internet Explorer 6.x: 11%
All IE: 31%

Safari: 5%
Mozilla: 5%
Others: 7%

Among other things, FeedBurner also logs the operating system from the browser request.

Windows XP: 52%
Windows 2000: 4%
Windows Vista: 1%
Other Windows: 3%
All Windows: 60%

Mac OS X (Intel): 17%
Mac OS X (PowerPC): 6%
All Mac OS X: 23%

Linux: 16%
Others: 1%

Please consider this to be just one data point – but it is an interesting one.
