BoingBoing browser stats
BoingBoing browser stats: General stats are useful, but different sites vary. Here, BoingBoing.net has half its visitors arriving in Mozilla Firefox, 25% in Microsoft Internet Explorer, 13% in Apple's Safari, and the rest in a variety of browsers. They don't use SWFs, but 83% of their bandwidth cost is for JPG, and 12% of their bandwidth is HTML. Scrolling upwards in their stats, I hadn't realized how little global presence they have... US outweighs Canada and UK 10:1, with relatively few readers from elsewhere. [via Asa Dotzler]

If you read JD's blog long enough, Jack, you'll start to see he collects statistical browser data. A lot of this hard facts is cited in future entries when comparing the ubiquity of the Flash Player. When you show how fragmented the browser market is with a wide array of different browser requirements that are hard to predict, it makes you all warm and fuzzy inside to just know Flash Player works on all of those browsers and platforms, regardless of site.
