A quick boffin note to ask you not to rely on stats regarding the browser type. As someone involved in running a fairly substantial site
we know all too well the problems of platform compatibility.
We absolutely support the calls for testing and functionality across all browsers. We do that constantly here at the Towers. Discerning users avoid the mainstream offerings just as soon as they try a decent browser.
It may also help you to challenge the propeller heads coding for you whether the browser they use actually reports what it really is
For many years browsers have had the ability to 'appear' as altogether different ones in such records. Thus treat all such data with a very large pinch of salt and look after the customers instead. Directly challenge the software suppliers with this information and enjoy the resultant shoe shuffling........
They majority of you enjoy the fruits of PC equipment compatibility and resulting low price versus performance. Make the sods continue the process to its only logical conclusion - code to enable similar choice in the browser they use. On a PC, Mac, set top TV, phone or PDA.
Code for choice across all platforms and not the commercial interests of corporate giants.
