I’ve was analysing blog access chart and, curiously, I see how are the most usable browsers.
The fight between Firefox and Internet Explorer is old and, little time ago, Microsoft’s browser lost first position to Firefox. Now, with Google Chrome more stable and accessible, the three firsts position may be changed again.
In one year of interval, this blog had 35,738 visits, where the Firefox was most usable browser, responsible for 14,705 (41.75%) of access, distantly followed by Internet Explorer (10,542 access, or 29.5%) and Google Chrome (8,679 access, or 24.29%). Opera came in 4th and Safari came in 5th.
Below the chart generated by Google Analytics with complete list of browsers and amount of access:
