As indicated on w3schools site, these figures are not necessarily 100%
correct


>From their site 


"These facts indicate that the browser figures above are not 100% realistic.
Other web sites have statistics showing that Internet Explorer is used by at
least 80% of the users."

 

Why should I as a IE user even consider changing to another browser such as
Firefox?  I checked their site and the only comparison I saw is of their
version 3 vs 3.5.  There is no comparison of their product and IE.  Don't
know about you folks, but it usually takes a little more than a verbal
statement without corroborating facts to induce me to make a significant
change in something like this.  I'm not trying to hammer you Firefox folks
here so don't even start to think that, but I've heard the alternate browser
talk for years, but have "never" seen anything to give me even a bit of a
reason to change.  I'm open to hearing any good reasons you may have.

There is.  Firefox is more and more popular all the time!  Here are some
current statistics from http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp



Browser Statistics Month by Month


2009  IE7 <http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_explorer.asp>

2.1%

Personally, I avoid using IE whenever I can.  You can often tell a site that
was done using FrontPage (or other MS software)...they  don't work correctly
in other browsers.

 Then why isn't there more use of other browsers?
