And just when I thought IE7 was on the up again, the last 3 weeks have seen a 1% decline in the usage of IE7. I'm pleased though that another standards compliant browser, Firefox, has increased by 1% over that time. IE6 is solid again though and not moving.

Firefox is currently on about 13%, up from 11.5%. Safari sees 3% on the above site. On another site I run, Safari is about 6%. In web development, it's the Safari use that is significant for me simply because support in web apps is poorer - for example textarea replacment editors.
