Internet Explorer Dominates

Magnus · 22nd December 2007, 21:57

For the first time I see in the statistics for the site that Internet Explorer dominates among users (38%), closely followed by Safari with 36%.

My guess is that it has to do with the great interest in iPhone which comes from Windows users as well as Mac users.

What do you think?

I agree. I havent used IE for almost 4 years, and use Safari 90% of the time (the rest its either Firefox of Flock) so I hunch is many guests who are interested in iPhone and iPods are browsing the site.

Definatly iPhone!
Most likely looking for Arabization too.

Surprising, since this site is mostly Mac.

I do agree, iphone is behind this increase of Windows users browsing. I do remember in an earlier statistics you found that Safari used to dominate.

The real question is this?
Can we consider that a drop in the site's quality?
What can we do to maintain the quality of business we all love here?
