Browsers, and search terms

I got asked to put up the browser summary here. Actually, I won’t, not in full. It’s really long. But here’s how it breaks down (by number of page requests):

Internet Explorer: 33% (of which IE6: 23%. IE5: 8%. IE4: 2%).
Mozilla 22% (which I assume includes Firefox, though it doesn’t seem to identify itself… unless that’s Mozilla/1, in which case it’s 17%. Or if it’s “Netscape (compatible)” then it’s 11%).
Safari: 21%.
Googlebot, MSNbot, Technoratibot: 6% total (about equal between Google and MSN).
Opera: 3%.
Nothing else above 1%; though “others” (90-odd) make up 27%. That’ll be comment spam, at a guess.

And here is what people are looking for when they come here. I guess putting this list here will make it more likely they’ll come…

    Nice to see you’re high on the ‘G4 Fan Club’ listing! :D

    Marvellous! Nice to see Safari having parity with Mozilla.

    Firefox does identify itself, but your log analysis software might not be looking for it. Here’s the USer Agent string for Firefox 1.02 on Windows:

    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2

    I suspect Firefox numbers will be included with Mozilla.
