Browsers that count for less than 0.5% are not listed.
W3Schools is a website for people with an interest for
web technologies. These people are more interested in using alternative
browsers than the average user. The average user tends to use Internet
Explorer, since it comes preinstalled with Windows. Most do not seek
out other browsers.
These facts indicate that the browser figures below are
not 100% realistic. Other web sites have statistics showing that Internet
Explorer is used by at least 80% of the users.
Anyway, our data, collected over a five year period, clearly
shows the long and medium-term trends.
