A person pretty much needs Safari to see all the cool effects on this site. I’m sticking to Firefox, though, until Apple adds support for ClearType. Safari’s already blurry text combined with this site’s text shadow just hurts my eyes too much.

Oh, dream… sweet dream, where IE have only 4% :)

Wonder how many of those use to to browse the rest of the web.
I’d like to use Opera, because it has allot of nice features. But I’m sticking with Firefox because of the extensions for it. Without them Firefox wouldn’t be much.

It would also be interesting to see what its percentage was before Safari for Windows was released – I would imagine quite a few people would have gone to this site at least once to see how all the effects appear. I know I did :)

@Lewis: You know, I bought a used Mac Mini just to set websites on the Mac OS. …not too long before Safari was released for Windows…

Besides the fact that that’s an awesome and unusual statistic: that’s a nice looking app you’ve got there! Do you mind sharing what it’s called/where I can find it?

I use Opera to browse the rest of the web. In fact, css3.info is practically the only reason I ever trot out Safari. (It’s my Safari home page…)

@Joost: What parameters were used to get this result? I find it pretty hard to believe that Safari accounts for 84% of total visits!
@Harmen Janssen: It’s Google Analytics (http://www.google.com/analytics/)

@Peter: I think what Emily said could be a possible answer to your question. This site is all about the latest cutting edge CSS features and to get the max out of it you need to use a browser that makes the most out of it.
What surprises me for a site like this is that IE outnumbers Opera. -

“Now that got your attention, didn’t it?”
It sure did. I can especially hardly believe that there are only 1.16% Opera users. O_o

@peter: i’ll run some new clean stats tomorrow ;)

I downloaded Safari just to view this site and then erased it, and so did other people I guess.
I’m happily browsing with opera 9.21 and waiting for 9.5 to enjoy css3 effects :) -

I visit your site often for testing on my iPhone. I’m sure I’m not the only one… might be pretty interesting stats to see how many other iPhone users ha the same idea…

I was thinking: why only 1% uses Opera. Except Safari, only Opera has such a good CSS interpretation.

The current version of Opera doesn’t support all of the nifty effects such as box-shadow and border-radius. Not only does Firefox have more of CSS3’s visual effects implemented than Opera, but it has extensions that some people can’t live without.
I expect that once Opera 9.5 comes out, many people will switch, but for now I’m not really surprised that Opera has such a low user rate.
Also, when you consider that nearly 84% of everybody is using Safari on this graph, it’s hardly an accurate representation of normal browser usage; it only really gives an idea for this site, a site which is obviously going to have a very odd slant that you won’t see anywhere else.

Sounds like a lot of people trying to learn CSS3 tricks for the iPhone…

I’m wondering, the authors of the website are using Safari if I’m correct. Do you filter you own hits? Just curious :-) I use Firefox for about 2.5 years now (about Firebird 0.6 I think…), and I’m a Linux guy so Firefox is common to use. Although at my work I use Windows and Firefox.

The real figures are not as high as 84% for Safari and as low as 1% for Opera. Opera actually has more hits than Safari the last time I checked. There must have been some issue the day that Joost checked it (or perhaps the figures for that day?) It would make sense for Safari to be high on this site as it is required to see a number of the previews and demos. I personally use Safari quite a bit on this site.

@Patrick Kraaij: I use Firefox on Linux, Joost probably uses Safari on Mac, and I’d imagine David uses Opera a fair bit; so, a pretty good mix!
