1 million Users Browser stats
I have a snapshot of data of 1 million users and here is the browser data.
You can see that Internet Explorer is by far the most dominate browser out there no surprises :
and I honestly expected more Firefox 3 users out of 1 Million only 7,908 Firefox 3 users!
Internet Explorer 7.0 and Internet Explorer 6.0 are head to head which surprised me a little
Added : the site is a commercial site and informational for young working professionals, no adsense !
also added in the SEO industry the skew is much different
But if you take another example of a UK e-commerce site :

http://www.wanabo.comObviously it depends on your niche!
Here are my stats for 7.9 million users over the last 30 days (that’s right, 7.9 million):
Internet Explorer: 69.85%
Firefox: 22.05%
Safari: 5.52%
IE Only users:
IE 7.0: 72.72%
IE 6.0: 27.06%
So you see, take these browser share stories with a grain of salt and check your own. Depending on the tech abilities, or source of your audience, these can vary widely.
In DavidNaylor’s case, the audience may be more corporate and coming from work where using browsers other then IE is prohibited. Mine is more consumer focused.
Cheers!

http://www.liamdelahunty.com/What was the industry? I find in more technical / design sites the FF rate is a lot higher.
Also with SU or Digg traffic the FF users are 90% +

http://kevinboss.netWhat kind of audience are we looking at? The amount of people still using IE6 is a little scary.

Felix Wunderwald Blog» Blogarchiv » Internet Explorer auch in UK ganz weit vorne 1283 days ago
[...] David bestätigt das, was ich auch schon lange dachte. Auch in den UK hat der IE bei normalen E-Commerce-Seiten die Nase vorne. Bei den “normalen” DAUs Usern ist der IE immernoch weit verbreitet. Bei Nischen-Seiten die sehr Internet-Affin sind, ist der FireFox gut dabei. [...]

http://css.wearethebuzz.comthe browser really depends on your niche… If you have a mainstream or people website you’ll more likely get visits with internet explorer, on the other hand a specific blog in the niche of tech will have more readers using firefox…

http://www.suhails.com/this is a shocking news… and it is hard to design for IE6. Even a small float: left; won’t work in it…
Such a pain in the ass.
