Mozilla Firefox: 64.83% Internet Explorer 7.x: 10.25% Internet Explorer 6.x: 07.88% Mozilla: 04.11% Opera: 02.99% Netscape: 4.x 02.11% Internet Explorer 5.x: 01.74% This is for the period 26-11-2007 -> 07-01-2008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Can we add browsers to that trend as well. We are seeing a new trend where most of the browsers on my logs these days are not IE, but instead they are Firefox. It would seem the day of IE is now over. I personally do not like Firefox though and use Opera as my main browser and IE once in a while for certain tasks tailored to IE. As for OS's, Windows XP is my fav. I only use Linux when I want to learn something new because I am studying my A+, Linux+, Server+ and Network+, so I will eventually have to learn how to use it at some point. Apple can lick my balls though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garda Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Mac: 31.25% I would never have thought that there was a 2:1 ratio of mac to PC users. That's kinda cool. The Vista numbers are unusually low given that the current user base is now something like 14% overall. Also, I would have had no idea that people still use IE5. From memory, the last time I happened to use it the entire web came out crappy and retarded looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nophix Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I'm probably the one to blame for the Vista usage..lol Laptop came with it, and I haven't had time to upgrade to XP and Sabayon dual boot yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deveant Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 haha im so glad im one of the few using Vista, but im really not sure why im glag... Still havtn had issues wif it. I am kinda suprised that there isnt more linux, specialy how a handfull of users go on about how its gaining its ground in the market share. I guess i would also fall under other by using Windows Mobile 5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jollyrancher82 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Nothing wrong with Microsoft or Apple. Both produce better software than most of the programmers on this forum could dream of writing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothCriminal Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Thats why they work at Microsoft or apple and I don't :-P. Just because I don't like an OS, doesn't mean I have it out for the coders, just that I don't like the OS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digip Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Hence, free porn and forum registration bypassing! QFE. This is true on some sites. If they block you and require registration, but allow google bot to index the page then using it in this respect works, but I have found that most pages will still block access, even when using a googlebot sig. I have wget set t do this for me with a little bat to help make it even easier. :top cls @echo off ::debug is optional, but helps to get as much returned info as possible. ECHO [Wget Webpage (with Headers + Cookies) from what site?] SET /P website="[example: www.google.com] : " :: Page with LOTS of USer Agent examples - http://www.user-agents.org/ ::crawler@alexa.com to spoof as Alexa statistic bot ::Opera/9.24 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en) if you want to spoof as Opera for Windows XP ::GoogleBot Spoof because some sites require subscription access, but allow googlebot to index its pages. ::Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html) :: QuickTimexaa.7.0.4 (qtver=7.0.4;cpu=PPC;os=Mac 10.3.9) :: IE6 Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) ::wget --save-headers --save-cookies %website%.cookie.txt %website% --user-agent="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)" -d -o debug.txt wget -d -o debug.txt --save-headers --save-cookies "%website%".cookie.txt "%website%" --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)" ::wget %website% --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)" -d -o debug.txt :retry SET /P yn="Continue or Quit? C/Q: " if "%yn%" == "q" goto:end if "%yn%" == "c" goto:top if "%yn%" == "Q" goto:end if "%yn%" == "C" goto:top ::In case they didn't pick from the above selections echo Wrong Selection. Please choose C or Q goto:retry :end exit Again, not all sites will allow googlebot either, but they might allow other crawlers. If so, you can try another user agent sring from a list here: http://www.user-agents.org/ edit: Revised to add quotes around url to fix bug in long strings with escape characters. Was giving me issues with addresses that contained question marks and % signs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l00kp Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I set iceweasel to identify it as IE on a windows XP machine. n_n Some sites refuse to work on my computer unless I toss a windows brower ID at them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isnt Iceweasel just FireFox fpr Debian? Why not just use the Firefox UA to be sure it renders correctly when it tries to throw code only written for IE, you would at least get what its supposed to look like with FF and better chance of all the scripts working when they check for both FF and IE.
