In such circumstances, the WEB developers, and related application developers who want their own website or application can run on various versions of the browser seems to be a huge challenge.
So, for an Internet developer, before their own to develop a application must first understand the present status of the browser used by the people: the people are accustomed to using what browser? Which version they use low-level or high-level version? These are needed to be clarified in advance. So, on the browser status quo in today's Internet market, there is a good analysis becomes necessary. The following perhaps you want to know.
1, the most commonly used browser version
StatCounter now occupies a market share of 0.2%, well above the browser we do statistics StatCounter in early June by the browser to access the site of more than 3 million statistical results. Including more than 15 billion page views, so the statistical results should be able to represent the overall situation.
Analysis Conclusion:
dominant browser (or maybe you have not): IE8.0 is still the world largest browser, far more than other browsers. (Translator's Note: This may be different situation in China, after all, most of Jingdezhen people like IE6.0, ha!)
IE9.0 current situation: Although IE9.0 is the latest version of Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser, but its use has not more than IE7.0, of course, at the end of this month, when, perhaps in the form will be changed, and now IE9. 0 to use most of the needs through the automatic update of the Windows system upgrade, but in the end whether to use or upgrade to IE9.0 or depending on the user's own choice.
Safari, Mac and IE6: Safari latest version is 5.0, and its use is only 0.1 percentage points more than IE6.0, of course, this is caused by the limitations of their use of the environment, Safari is mainly used in the Mac system above, however, Mac market share, after all, is too small, compared to the Windows system, and Mac users can still go to other browser. However, IE6.0 or XP system users simply select the most original, after all, is built-in.
Firefox 4.0 is still in the Firefox browser version predominate: since the March 22 release of Firefox 4.0 on possession of most of the Firefox browser version.
Test version of the browser: There is no doubt that, at the beginning of many browser requires a variety of tests, so a large part of the user to use the test versions of various browsers, is professional saying the Beta version . More obvious is that Chrome and Firefox, can see the future, the upcoming release of the new version of the browser, such as Chrome13 well Firefox5.0.
Chrome share rose steadily: Google's Chrome browser concise famous Google gradually the user Chrome12 version automatically upgrade to Chrome13 (User you should know!)
Wow, iPad: Ipad just launched more than a year, but the iPad version of Safari already occupy a market share of 0.68%.
old browser versions: from this table map, we can see that there are still a lot of users accustomed to using the old version of the browser, perhaps only when the system upgrade will barely update their browser. (Translator's Note: at least this is the case in Jingdezhen, it seems we should update the next software facilities yo.)
2, the dominant browser:
Analysis Conclusion:
IE market share decline: not long ago, over a period of time, IE has been commanding the entire browser market, the the Firefox browser out in 2004, its market share is basically 95%. But the situation is decidedly different from the IE browser market share of less than 44%.
Chrome's rapid growth in market share: the rapid decline in the IE share at the same time, another surprising thing is Chrome's market share is rapidly rising, this Google's browser to launch the shell was less than three years before the time ah.
Growth: WebKit WebKit-based browsers (Chrome and Safari) add up their market share holds 25.35%, compared to Firefox's 28.57%, but this is only a share of the PC desktop, if coupled with a variety of mobile devices, such as the browser on the phone, and the situation would be different.
