Each time i develop a website i got into the first dilemma: what browsers are most used (and what takes a lot of time of developing and not worth to touch), w开发者_运维技巧here people see the standards? I got some 300 hits a day sites, but i don't think i can measure it. Anyone has ideas or share the same dilemma with me? A

Are you asking which browsers are currently the most popular? The answer would be IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Opera; in that order.

If you were asking something different I will remove this answer.

Check this out from W3C: http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp

And even more details on Wikipedia:

When I develop websites I make sure it validates with W3C standards and looks correct in Firefox, Safari, Chrome and IE7+. Others may think differently though.

Hope that helps!

You can generate some statistics about who going into your website. Then get from them how many users have Windows/Linux, what users have Trident/Gecko/WebKit.

IE6 support should be break. Nobody likes it, and mostly that's not true that 50% of users use it. 50% is true if we talking about companies where intranet software is written for IE6 and uses ActiveX. Home users now have Firefox, Chrome, Opera. If they use IE, it's probably 7, 8 or 9 now because of Windows Update.
