For sure IE7 aswell. However on a developer-oriented day, I find FF 2.* or 3.0 really good to test out xhtml designs etc with :)

Firefox 3!!! There's nothing that beats FF3 in terms of speed and loading-times. It's really kicking IE's arse. However, for design-compatability stuff I do check things out in IE, ofcourse :)

whoa thats many ppl using the old ie4. thought aswell it was dead. perhaps some companys use it today after all

I can't believe that many people are still using such an old browser! Doesn't that open themselves up to a long list of security issues? I use IE7 at work but a combination of FF3 andIE7 at home.

You'd think so, Andy. It might be corporate policy in some companies, but I doubt that 20% of the visitors are "required" to run IE4.01. I ran a simulator/emulator for IE4 just now and I can't believe how they're still putting up with the browser. Not only security issues, but compatability issues with a whole lot of sites.

Psst, here's the link for anyone interested in running older versions of IE: http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE (Excellent to use if you're in the spot to check compatibility with various browser versions)

Main browser: Opera 9.51 For web sites with known issues with Opera: Internet Explorer 7 For development: Opera 9.5, IE7, IE8, Firefox 3 and Safari

IE7, will swithch to IE8 when stable... Old personal favourite though is Opera but never ever understood the buzz around FF

Hey, I am an IE7 user for day to day, also use Firefox 3 and Safari 3.1 for testing and development. Haven't used anything less that IE 6 for a long time now!! Liam

Opera never charmed me. FF before Opera in my opinion ;) Though, I'm still wondering who's using IE4 (or even 5.5) these days :) Would be fun to find out.

hi, im using internet explorer 6 because our company forces this upon us (some of our main systems are not compatible/tested with other browsers) however ie4 seems like a drag ;)

Hi Tobias, I am using Firefox. If I need ActiveX (SharePoint, OWA) IE7 is the Browser I use :-) René

we use ie7 as corporate std. but we use ie6 for backward compability with design-products and also we use firefox, opera and safari for testing designs. but mainly work with ie7.

IE7 both at work and at home.

i always use firefox. never ever using anything else. when ff doesnt work in sharepoint i have to use ie ofcourse but otherwise always ff. ff3 is fast like the wind

Works great with the multiple Internet Explorers you linked to. excellent to see IE6 and IE7 and older versions aswell and how they behave in our designs. sweetness!

I'd be interested to see how many of those "IE4" instances are web crawlers/spiders identifying themselves as IE4. Did you just check your raw logs, or are you using something like Google Analytics? One of the things commercial packages do for you is clean out all the spider traffic from your stats. I assure you no one is using IE4 anymore, no one. You'll get more BlackBerry visitors than you'll get IE4 visitors.

i'm using FF 2.x and 3.x (on different systems) and ie 7 (not because it rocks, but because sharepoint won't work as good with anything else - think it's a typical feature of MS to full support only MS....)

Peter S, that's not entirely true. There's still companies (at least over here in denmark) which use ie4 on some machines. foremost in production environments and older workstations. No developers or anyone even close to be reading in this kind of blog shuld probably be using it howevr.

I haven't seen IE4 in years, literally at least 4 years. I think Windows 95 was the last OS to run IE4, everything since can run IE5.5, and this includes NT4.0. I just checked my logs and I did have one IE5.5 user, which matches Tobias' stats above, but nothing below. Someone identified themselves as IE5.0, but that was in fact an Opera 6 user with a masked user agent. ...not a big deal, I just say, don't trust the IE4 numbers.

IE7 home and office.

I use Safari, except when using the intranet at work, then i am pretty much forced to use ie 7.
