  1. Re:Non-Tech Percent of Web Traffic from Chrome by dotancohen · · Score: 1 · on Google Chrome, Day 2

    ...have have other popular programs (such as Google Analytics) been updated to identify this browser?

    Extreme Tracking now recognizes Chrome. Interestingly, I am seeing over 2% of my traffic in Chrome too. Amazing.

  2. A Suggestion by webheaded · · Score: 2, Insightful · on Accurate Browser Statistics?

    If you've already got some sort of website going, start logging statistics for it. Get a counter of some kind (like the kind at http://extremetracking.com/ and you can look at who goes to your site. As you start to build the real meat and potatoes you will know what your primary audience. I look at these stats all the time for my websites to make sure that my site look good to the majority of my audience.

    It's Slashdot... Slashdot is where the Linux geeks hang out. If you don't like it, maybe you should read the MSDN forums or something?

    Kind of. More like Linux pretender wanna-be geeks. Or Linux geeks who have to use Windows at work.

    My blog has gotten most of its hits from my Slashdot sig. Click here to check out the most popular software:

    For the record, in case things change:

    Browser: Firefox 1.5 - 45.33%
    Operating System: Windows XP - 60.97%

    Most of us here have huge interest in how Vista turns out, if only because our employers will put it on our machines.

  6. Statistics by LiNKz · · Score: 5, Interesting · on Internet Explorer's Share Dips Below 90%

    Googledot receives a few hits everytime someone mentions it on Slashdot. I've been keeping track of the hits and such, which show 67% of slashdotters (who are willing to click a link for a laugh) are using firefox, and only 14.5% of them are using Internet Explorer. It is interesting to look at how many people still use Windows over *nix too. I guess it is all very much depending on what type of website you're counting from too.

    You can look at a few statistics here that have been collected since over a few months.

  8. Actual stats tracking the slashdot effect by psyklopz · · Score: 1, Offtopic · on Privateer Remake Complete

    Their site has a link to a tracker, which is showing some interesting stuff regarding what is happening to the site because of the slashdotting.

    Look here.

    Looks like slashdot viewers really do use FireFox the most. But looks like they're also using Win XP the most (view the 'System Tracking' section).

  9. Safari wrt user-agent strings by ajna · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Mozilla Usage Doubles in 9 Months
    Safari is based on KHTML, so I don't think it would show up as Netscape 7.

    Indeed, but Safari is a wily beast. Its default is "Mozilla/5.0":
    What is the Safari user-agent string?
    The complete Safari user-agent string is:

    Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/XX (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/YY

    ...where XX is the version of Apple's web technology used by Safari and YY is the version of the Safari application.
    from http://developer.apple.com/internet/safari/safari_ faq.html#anchor2

    My web tracking service definitely seems to lump "Mozilla 5.0", and thus Safari, in with Netscape 7 since the other choices (Netscape 3, 4, MSIE 4, Opera and Other) all have negligible hit counts.

    It's one thing to have someone's IP address. It's another thing altogether to post it as public information.

    Whatever you do, do not click this link or I will publish your IP address and system information.

    Your IP address is not private information.

  13. Watch Google Zeitgeist by Tarqwak · · Score: 1 · on Browser Wars II: The Saga Continues
    According to Googles User-Agent logs MSIE 6 peaked in March 2003, now see current Zeitgeist

    Soon enough we should see Gecko (Mozilla, Netscape, K-Meleon, Galeon, Chimera, ...), KHTML (Konqueror, Safari) and Opera based browsers start gaining more visible percentages from IE 5.x and some from IE 6.0 thanks to MSIE rotting into oblivion.

    Some stats samples: thecounter.com May 2003, upsdell.com gathered stats, sharereactor.com current stats (Gecko had 2.19% 2002 Aug 12).

    My own sites ~4 day distinct user stats with ~500 hits per day (not 100% accurate):
    00.25% - MSIE 4.0
    11.85% - MSIE 5.0

    For an idea of the Slashdot effect, check out these stats for a site linked to by this article last December. Scroll down to Week 49.

    The stats probably aren't overly accurate because they're generated by a web-based tracker, but you get the idea.
