    Hah! Firefox beats IE 5.5, IE 6 and IE 7!

    Not combined, but it makes for some nice stats:



    Seeing how different the three IE versions render the web, it's just fair to not combine their numbers.

    Wow. IE5 was actually beating Safari at one point in this year. That is really sad. I don't remember the last time I actually saw or used IE5. I hate having to make sites work in both IE6 an 7 to bring another version into the equation.

    I'm not that hard to imitate. Just make some random negative claim at Apple or anything else for that matter and then have nothing to back it up.

    PS: I actually have no idea from which company/site the stats are, they were posted on another board (edit: from the w3c sites as it seams).

    Those are from W3Schools' logs, available here. Net Applications' stats give Firefox less than 15% market share.

    Also, Safari beats IE, Firefox!

    Each browser was pointed at the 16 most-trafficked sites as listed by Alexa at the end of August, and the times it took each to render each site recorded. Results over a two-day period, with multiple tests run at different times, were averaged for a final number. The browsers were also timed as they pulled up those sites' saved HTML, which had been placed on a local server. That, explained Czeiszperger, was an attempt to get measurements independent of the vaguarities of Web server loads and Internet traffic conditions.

    "In all cases, the Safari 3 Windows beta was the fastest browser in terms of page load time," said Czeiszperger.

    Most people that have used Safari for Windows will tell you that these reports are full of crap. On my Windows machine, the fastest to slowest browsers are:
    IE6
    Firefox 2 - My Primary Browser
    Opera
    IE7
    and in a distant last...
    Safari for Windows.

    It is very bloated and very slow.

    Who the hell uses Alexa?

    I think you would see dramatically different numbers if it were an seo like google however google does not release browser stats.
