Just took a quick look at what browsers people are using to hit the site this month:
Mozilla: 45%
IE: 31%
Everything else: 24%
This is a quick and dirty calculation so the numbers for Mozilla and IE are likely slightly higher than indicated. The breakdown on the Mozilla figure is about 30% Windows and 16% Mac (which includes Safari). Update: As someone pointed out in the comments, Safari's stats should not be lumped into the Mozilla category (Safari uses the KHTML rendering engine). I'll try to get my stupid stats package to sort that out.
This corresponds pretty closely with BoingBoing's stats:
IE 36.8%
Firefox 36.7%
Safari 8.4%
Unknown 7.7%
Mozilla 4.3%
Netscape 1.6%
Roughly 37% for IE, 51% for the various Mozillas. Stats for Digital Web indicate even higher penetration for Mozilla and 37 Signals noted that Firefox was making a move for #1 back in October. This compares to mainstream usage (as reported by CNN): IE 90% and Firefox 5%.
How are your numbers looking?

Mostly Mozilla for me, but I reckon it's only to be expected that weblogs will show up with more Mozilla/Firefox users, since the whole Firefox thing has been punted heavily among the weblog community.
Am I misinformed, or is counting Safari under Mozilla/Firefox incorrect? Doesn't Safari use KHTML and not Gecko?
I'm curious about how you've grouped the browsers. Safari is based on KHTML, not Mozilla, so why is it included with Firefox and Mozilla?
Dunno...that's just the way my stupid stats package does it. But you're right...the Safari stats should not be lumped in there. Lemme see if I can separate them out....
On IdolBlog (largely NZ/Aus traffic) it's sadly 92% IE usage. Firefox is starting to get some publicity here but with our broadband figures looking rather shabby compared to the US, it'll be a while before lots more jump on board.
2005 statistics for thisisdiopter.org show mostly Mozilla in the top 15 list, along with some RSS readers. That's it - IE isn't making the top 15 list that Webalizer produces.
I have a videoblog fwiw.

I seem to have about 57% IE users with Firefox, Safari and Opera following close behind. Firefox is definitely picking up though, the promotions in the past couple weeks have been invaluable.

From a short reader poll I did a few months ago, a lot of readers say they read my site from work or school, so I guess Firefox isn't the browser of choice yet for most corporations. I wish I knew how much of my readership was Firefox before I put the nice obnoxious IE-only banner up that says, "Your browser sucks, get Firefox!"

Mine look pretty much the same... I assume that a higher Mozilla penetration corresponds with a more computer-literate readership in the page, and the average blog reader today is still more tech-savvy than the average Internet user. MSIE is becoming "the browser for the ignorants", people who get a much worse browsing experience, filled with pop-up ads, slow and insecure navigation, etc. whilst Firefox is getting a somehow "ellite" or savvy positioning...
My stats package (Urchin) likes to group in RSS readers with browsers so the percentages are messed up, but there are about 2.5X times the number of IE users than Mozilla users. With Safari hooked in it appears about double.
This is progress.
This is progress.
i agree with josh...down with internet exploder!!! firefox is the only sensible way to go. my work site gets about 65% ie, 30% mozilla variants, 3% opera, etc etc.
ie is #3 all time worst microsoft product ever ( 1. frontpage, 2. visio, 3. ie, 4. windows me, 5. access ).

Jason, is there a chance you can break down the various Mozillas? I'm curious how many are using Camino. Thank you!

(Stats via the very annoying to use Analog)
The high IE use may account for the fact that my personal blog is primarily read by non-web designer friends. My more tech-savy pals are always trying to pressure their Moms and lovers to switch to Firefox, but I disagree. The latest versions of IE work well. It's enough that my Mom can actually use a computer let alone browse the internet. She doesn't want any more changes in technology unless she can quantify its usefulness on her own terms. There are more important things to change than your browser.

Mine has:
Firefox 60%
IE 35%
Netscape 4%
and Mozilla 1%
But I tend to agree that none of these results have any true statistical implications because of the predominance of Mozilla based browsers among bloggers (and tech-savvy people in general), for one, and the somehow limited demographic of the bogosphere...

Firefox: 37%

All else: ~8%
Come on, Firefox! Seems pretty consistent with what I expected. Bloggers are smart in that they tend to stick to Firefox as the future of web browsing. IE will follow suit, but it will be much too late.

the fudge said no (largely Canadians) is running with 51% for IE, 34% for Firefox, 3% for Netscape and 4% for the conventional Moz'z.

I'd like to point out that a lot of people using Firefox would also be using an RSS plug-in like Sage (or one of the others), whereas a lot of IE users would be actually visiting your site. If you factor that into your stats, firefox numbers would be even greater.
This is assuming that the number of people using an independent RSS syndication site or software are distributed equally across both browsers (which I doubt).
The purpose of checking browser stats has primarily been to optimize site design for some particular browser... with the advent of RSS, does site design / browser optimization still play as important a part?

the stats for my Xanga page (neuroelectronic.net) are much more Firefox biased for some reason (69%) with IE trailing far behind (20%) I find this remarkable, especialy since most of the users of Xanga are very young and usualy not tech-savy.

I'm thinking that many popular blogs like Jason's would also show comparatively higher stats for Mozilla based browsers (just a feeling.) After all, a bulk of the talk about the Mozilla Foundation's work, web-standards (very importantly), how Firefox and Safari obeyed these to a very large extent and how IE was/is a horrible browser was often discussed on these very frequently read blogs (Zeldman, Kottke, Mezzoblue, Inman, etc) For example, visit Binary Bonsai, a popular weblog, especially for users of Wordpress and the Kubrick theme, in IE and see what I'm talking about.
At least that's how it appears to me personally. I wouldn't be introduced to Firefox and it's myriad features if it weren't for my reading these blogs.

How terrible of you not to include Opera! Why, the Opera users of the world will be annoyed at you: I'm sure they'll both send you an email about this! They might even get their friends to complain, so you could be swamped by up to five messages! Prepare to recoil in terror!

These numbers are great! It just shows that the "early adopters" as marketing textbooks call it is working its magic. "power users" who visit Blogs on a regular basis are an exact fit for this early adopters category; these numbers are encouraging--but not everything that is used by the early adopters and innovators reaches the masses. But this is a good sign that the Mozilla Foundation is on its way to possible greatness. I love firefox, its just works!
According to Urchin, mine look like this:
Internet Explorer: 31.95%
Mozilla Compatible Agent: 23.68%
Mozilla: 14.08%
Safari is coming in at 1.5%
So, depending upon what Urchin counts as "Mozilla" vs "Mozilla Compatible," IE seems to be taking a (much deserved) beating.

Tech sites are always biased towards Mozilla/Firefox in terms of users.

I'm surprised that you people are so fond of Firefox. Sure, everything is better than IE, but I have used just about every browser mentioned in this thread, and I find Opera to be the best. By far. Really far. Both the GUI and the performance are far superior to that of Firefox, not to mention Safari, Netscape or the others.

Have you seen/read/heard anything about the browser AvantBrowser (www.avantbrowser.com)? It's got 1 million downloads....
thelonecodeman: AvantBrowser is not a browser, it is a replacement GUI for Internet Explorer, and as such it won't show up in server logs
