Information Research Weblog

Here's an interesting little table from the counter service for Information Research.

1.	Internet Explorer 6.x	59.1 %
2.	Internet Explorer 5.x	25.8 %
3.	Opera 7.x	5.4 %
4.	Netscape 4.x	4.3 %
5.	Mozilla 1.x	2.2 %
6.	Netscape 3.x	1.1 %
7.	Opera 5.x	1.1 %
8.	Netscape 7.x	1.1 %

These are the browsers used to access Information Research and I find it interesting that Opera version 7 now ranks third, above Netscape version 4. Of course, Internet Explorer, with a total of 84.9% is way ahead of the competition - but that doesn't surprise anyone does it? It's just the kind of monopoly effect the courts were chasing. With the probable demise of Netscape, given AOL's commitment to Internet Explorer, it looks as Opera will be the only competition in town!
Incidently, Information Research is on stream to beat more records this year - if usage continues at its present rate, there will be 45,000+ hits on the top page - almost 50% more than last year, and most of that increase the result of publicity surrounding one paper - I'll leave you to guess which one that was!
