Browsers that count for less than 0.5% are not listed.
Xhtml.co.il is a website for people with an interest for web technologies. These people are more interested in using alternative browsers than the average user. The average user tends to use Internet Explorer, since it comes preinstalled with Windows. Most do not seek out other browsers.
These facts indicate that the browser figures above are not 100% realistic. Other web sites have statistics showing that Internet Explorer is used by at least 80% of the users.
Anyway, our data, collected over a five year period, clearly shows the long and medium-term trends.
JavaScript Statistics
There are no absolute trends about the use of JavaScript. Some users have scripting turned off. Some browsers don't support scripting:
| Date | JavaScript On | JavaScript Off |
|---|---|---|
| January 2008 | 95% | 5% |
| January 2007 | 94% | 6% |
| January 2006 | 90% | 10% |
| January 2005 | 89% | 11% |
| January 2004 | 92% | 8% |
| January 2003 | 89% | 11% |
| January 2002 | 88% | 12% |
| January 2001 | 81% | 19% |
| January 2000 | 80% | 20% |
Statistics Are Often Misleading
You cannot - as a web developer - rely only on statistics. Statistics can often be misleading.
Global averages may not always be relevant to your web site. Different sites attract different audiences. Some web sites attract professional developers using professional hardware, while other sites attract hobbyists using old low spec computers.
Also be aware that many statistics may have an incomplete or faulty browser detection. It is quite common by many web-stats report programs, not to detect the newest browsers.
(The statistics above are extracted from Xhtml.co.il log-files, but we are also monitoring other sources around the Internet to assure the quality of these figures).
