I use some Google APIs on my site which don't work in IE so I suspect that's part of the reason why it's not the most widely used.

I have noticed an increase of Opera users, which is good, but a decrease of Internet Explorer users.
Firefox has remained neutral, however. Chrome has been doing pretty well and Safari has been losing a few users.

Pretty handy though, I can disregard IE of any version to the same extent most people can disregard IE6 :p

And I doubt you'll see many sites with Chrome on top :cool:

(82% of those IE users are on IE8, 11% IE7, 5% IE9, 3% IE6)

What are the bold numbers?

Users are 25 - 60 year-olds.

I also noticed that about 96% of users haven't upgraded to the latest versions of their respective browsers.

I wonder what xEnforo looks like in MS IE 5.5? :D
 
My least visited site shows the following:

Internet Explorer: 42.4%
Google Chrome: 24.1%
Firefox: 23.1%
Safari: 4.6%
Opera: 1.7% ( :( )
Unknown: 1.7 %
Android: 1.1%
Netscape: 0.7%

Users are much younger (16-40)

IE still strong as ever. This time, G Chrome, has topped Firefox. Opera, as always, still behind, can't reach the 10% mark.
