Just look at your logs
Authored by: Mechanist on Mar 30, '07 02:04:01PM

Hey, why run a poll? You have server logs, don't you? People are already implicitly voting for their favorite browser just by using it.

From my own server, I get the following "votes", as reported using Mint:

  • 54% Safari
  • 31% Firefox
  • 8% Internet Explorer (7% Windows, 1% Mac)
  • 3% Camino
  • 1% Opera

...and there's a 9-way tie at less-than-1%.

Serverlogs show what browsers people are using, but not necessarily the favourites (like I sometimes only have access to an OS9 mac running IE..)!

Exactly!

What browser one uses isn't necessarily one's favorite browser. When I had a "day job," I often had to use a Windows machine to access the web...and there's no way any browser on Windows is my favorite :).
