    I'm just curious to see if anyone still uses Internet Explorer? It seems like firefox is trying to take over?

    I still use IE

    Ducking while tomatoes are thrown at me.

    I do use firefox as well, just so used to IE and like to test in what most viewers will be seeing it in.

    10% isn't bad considering how dominating IE was a year ago. It seems to be accelerating too (and now with Google paying people to install it it should only make it quicker).

    One interesting thing I noticed are tech people just about exclusively use Firefox. For example, I took a sampling of 1,000 users that were referred from digg.com, of those, the break down was this:

    As unbelievable as this sounds, this was the breakdown:

    872 - Firefox
    82 - Safari
    19 - Opera
    14 - Internet Explorer
    13 - something else

    Wow great stats, kind of what I guessed it would be. Tech savvy people will be using it, common ma and pa will use what came with their windows system.

    Internet Explorer is far more popular in this part of the world when compare to the Firfox.

    As digital said and I guess that's why I said it is taking over "Tech Savvy" Users use FireFox just as The Average Joe Uses IE.

    When I look at my site stats it varies drasticvally from site to site but IE is used from five to thirty times more from Foxfire.

    I guess fryman still uses IE.

    I think there's another guy running around here that does also. roman1, possibly?

    Here's how one of my sites breaks down:

    Browsers-
    IE 88%
    FF 8.39%
    Safari 1.6%
    Opera .23%

    No, not even on my little Pee C laptop (don't even ask why I have one, I still wonder myself). But, I am longing for the next Windows release, hoping like hell that IE and MSN are abundant and used heavily, for obvious reason!!!

    I can't stand firefox personally and I'm hoping the release of the new IE will gain back most of the people who switched.

    I also hate how 90% of all the web pages you look at in firefox are messed up and out of format...
