Browser Wars

I did a post about a year ago looking at the stats from RTG visitors, so now its time to revisit that.

Firefox is continuing to gain popularity but Microsoft are still hanging on in there.
The latest figures are as follows:
Internet Explorer    71%
Firefox 19%
Opera 4%
Safari  3%
The others include PS3, PSP and Netfront.

In terms of operating systems, again its a Microsoft whitewash:
Windows 91%
Macintosh 4%
Linux 3%
Symbian 1%
Others include iPhone, iPod, PS3, PSP and Wii

Nearly 75% of you now use screen resolutions of 1024x768 or above, but the other interesting statistic here is the resurgence of much lower resolutions, presumably from phones and other portable devices.
Maybe its time to get back to our roots and develop a low bandwidth, low resolution theme again?

Yep

It's not easy to access RTG from a mobile phone - the screen is obviously not optimised. Increasingly though, phones are being used for internet access, so it would be very useful indeed if RTG could accessed in a simpler format.
