I'm shocked at how much share FireFox has taken so quickly. I guess I shouldn't be surprised since the readership are bleeding edge early adopters. Linux and Mac are a respectable 4% and 7% too. And I would of never imagined that 23% of our readers are from outside the States. All of you, why not grab a pint and join us on our <a href="http://www.firstadopter.com/forums/">discussion forum</a>. Great people and free alcohol. Well except for the free alcohol part.

Everyone so often I published the various marketshares of FirstAdopter.com visitors. It's always interesting to see what the latest trends ares.

Browser
Firefox 59.17%
Internet Explorer 27.35%
Safari 7.56%
Opera 3.13%
Mozilla 1.07%

It's safe to say our audience is cutting-edge enough to put Microsoft's spyware attracting browser out to pasture. Good for you!

Platform
Windows 81.24%
Mac 12.95%
Linux 5.31%
SunOS 0.1%
FreeBSD 0.06%

First Adopters like their Macs at more than 5Xs the general population. Linux is also up there. Impressive.

Screen Resolution
1280X1024 32.39%
1024X768 29.53%
1600x1200 6.31%
1680X1050 4.86%
1280X800 4.54%

When I originally designed this site I wanted to make it readable for 800x600 users. How far we've come.

Connection

62.16% Cable/DSL
24.44% Corporate
7.2% Unknown
6.2% Dial-up

Over 90% of our visitors have broad-band. That's bad news for AOL as we're the bleed-edge of society.

Location
USA 73%
Canada 8%
U.K. 7.3%
Australia 2%
Germany 1%

No surprises here as these are all English reading countries ex-Germany. Until we start translating our posts this isn't likely to change.
