Browser Saturation 12/24/2004 12:57 PM

I'm curious these days about actual browser saturation statistics. Everyone has a different story.

Boing Boing reported this week that almost half of their visitors are coming in on a Mozilla-based browser. OneStat.com is reporting IE has dipped under 90% for the first time in many, many years. WebSideStory says Firefox market share is up 34% in one month (of course, they claim this is from 3% to 4%...).

W3Schools is reporting Mozilla saturation of over 20%, climbing from just 8% a year ago, but this is just their users, which are often Web developers who are more friendly to Firefox than the Average Joe. Browser News samples five sources, which report Firefox usage rates from 5% to 35%. TheCo unter.com gives Mozilla browsers about 9% in November.

While it seems consistent that Mozilla browsers are definately on the upswing, I'm beginning to think that browser numbers are good for only one site: the site from which the log files were pulled. Everything else is speculation.

After saturation coverage of Olympics,
why no Paralympics TV coverage in US?
09/07/2004 11:47 PM
Xeni Jardin: BBC Journalist and blogger Stuart Hughes says:
The Olympics were a huge success for NBC.200 million viewers. A "halo effect" that boosted other channels and programmes. An estimated $60-70 million profit (Source: Hollywood Reporter) Before the Games started, NBC boast ed of the depth and breadth of its coverage.1210 hours of events.103 commentators. 28 Olympians on the commentary team. A week from now, I'll be heading back to Athens for Greece's second remarkable major sporting event of the year. The Paraly mpics will boast:4000 athletes. 140 countries represented.525 gold medals at stake. 19 sports. There will be no American TV coverage of the Paralympics. Let me repeat that. There will be NO AMERICAN TV COVERAGE OF THE PARALYMPICS. Not one hour of live coverage. Not one commentator. Not one Olympian on the commentary team. Nothing. This at the same time that a record number of journalists are preparing to cover the Paralympics.

Om Malik's "Microsoft's Worst Nightmare" in Business 2.0 is a nicely written chronicle of the current odd chapter in the now-outmoded "browser wars." This feels more like a browser hand-over, with Internet Explorer offering no resistance as home and business users download the Mozilla-based Firefox browser and (to borrow the Firefox slogan) "take back the Web."

NY Post (they're never wrong!) is speculating that Google will launch a web browser based on the fact that they've hired a half-dozen key hires in recent weeks. GBrowser sounds like a pretty lame name. Maybe it will like this. Maybe it will be Mozilla based. There's even Bug 226572 - Google branded Mozilla browser with the last comment saying: This is a duplicate of a private bug about working with Google. So closing this one. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 213362 *** If not Mozilla can always see how they market "GBrowser" to non-geeks and copy that.
