Just checked the analytics on a non-IT website:

IE represents 10.45%

Out of that:

    IE6      .28%
    IE7     2.03%
    IE8    19.81%
    IE9    16.57%

Its 52.22% after considering the usage of IE. Otherwise, it would have 90+

Everyone needs to do their own math, though. I run a network of news & information sites for business professionals in different industries and the numbers vary a bit, but are almost all much "worse" than your numbers.

On utilitydive.com (covering the utility/energy industry) it's 35% IE and of that 40% is IE8. IE6 and IE7 are much less, but they also don't really work with our latest redesign so it's a bit hard to tell.

IE - 88.56% Chrome - 4.98% Firefox - 4.56% Safari - 1.90%

Granted, this is a physician related site and deals highly in the pharma sector, so IE6 is still prevalent.

seems that for IE11 alone it's 1.8%

pieter | karma 2546 | avg karma 5.7 · | 2009-05-25 07:09:37

    IE 6 has 60 percent of the enterprise market, with IE 7 clocking in at 39 percent;
    Firefox has 18.2 percent of the enterprise market;

I'm not sure how they measure that share, but it's not what I expected. I'd expected the total to be ~100%.

ricardobeat | karma 18682 | avg karma 2.77 · | 2014-03-02 01:23:23

Exactly. Statcounter puts IE9 at 3.6% and IE10 at 4% which matches actual stats for most websites. It is true that in some countries IE has a much higher share than reported, but the aggregate is correct.

mumblemumble | karma 17206 | avg karma 5.68 · | 2021-06-04 01:14:07+00:00

I see Edge at 3.37% and IE at 0.62% in that chart.

webwright | karma 9537 | avg karma 5.35 · | 2008-07-03 23:58:17+00:00

One of the 280Slides guys said their IE6 # was 6% or so, as another data point.

ricardobeat | karma 18682 | avg karma 2.77 · | 2013-04-19 06:31:04+00:00

Statcounter[1] puts IE8 at ~10%, 12% for the US[2]. In some markets it's even lower[3]. This matches what I see from non-tech client websites. For anything related to software, IE as a whole is close to zero.

StatCounter tracks 3 million websites vs 40k for NetMarketShare.

I would have guessed much higher for IE (closer to 50%). I'm glad that it is ~30%, as that means we have a relatively competitive market with a diverse array of quality products to choose from (and yes, that includes recent versions of IE).

teamhappy | karma 2160 | avg karma 3.63 · | 2015-02-25 14:37:55+00:00

IE 8 has less than 5% in pretty much every other statistic.

For some medium-sized, low-tech site: IE6 49.8%, IE7 34%, other IE: 0.7%, total IE 84.5%

FF 2.0.x.x 7.5%[1], other FF 1.9%, total FF 9.4%

Others 6.1%[2]

1. FF 2.0.x.x number has been arrived by adding the percentages of the seperate versions, so there's some rounding error there. Other FF has been arrived at by subtracting FF 2.0.x.x from total FF (which is accurate).

2. Similarly others has been derived by subtracting the totals for IE and FF from 100.
