Mozilla More Popular
6 months ago if anyone had asked me what sort of browsers that people browsing my site use I would have said “well, about 85% use Internet Explorer”; Mozilla/Firefox barely registered on my list. However, their time has certainly come – 40.2% of my visitors now use Firefox, and 0.9% Mozilla. That’s a combined total of 41.2% which is only 0.8% off of the 42% of Internet Explorer users.
How many people total to 0.8%? Well, let’s say on an average day I get 600 hits, that means that (if my maths is right) 0.8% is 4.8 people. Let’s round that up to 5. Only five more people visit my website with Internet Explorer than Mozilla &/or Firefox! That’s quite impressive; for the Mozilla corp to have gained around 40x the popularity (based on my stats) in a 6 month period compared to IE which has been going for years. If that doesn’t say something about Mozilla/Firefox, then I don’t know what does.
Warning
This post is over 6 months old. This means that, despite my best intentions, it may no longer be accurate. Age, motherhood, experience, loss... these things have all changed me from when this blog was started back in the heady (ha) days of my youth.
As much as I would like to go back and edit 10 years of archives to provide an insight into the 'me' of now — to update coding snippets and revise website advice — it would probably take years to do so (by which point I'd have to start again!) This would defeat the point of keeping these archives anyway.
Please take these posts for what they are: a brief look into my past, my history, my journey.
