[Year 12 IT Apps] Browser stats

Thu Mar 8 21:00:57 EST 2012

Hi Adric,

Yes this is just like trying to use the VCAA SSMS when you have to use IE to access all functions.

BUT surely you can have alternative browsers installed for other uses?

If your techs say no - then tell the techs that the answer is yes and it is their job to facilitate learning :-)

  If you are using VASS then you don’t have a choice, you must use IE 8!!!

  At least for that system (actually, you can use ie 9 and modify the emulation setting using the developer tools).

  There is no logic why anyone would choose to use IE over the current modern browsers.

  So much so that IE was not supported in the latest release of facebook timeline. Its on a steady decline

    That’s because the people visiting the site are skewed towards IT teachers who are in the know about what a browser is and the fact you have a choice about which one you use.

    1.    Internet Explorer - 29.91%    
    2.    Firefox - 29.87%
    3.    Chrome - 29.29%
    4.    Safari - 6.22%
    5.    Opera Mini - 1.98%
    6.    Opera - 1.65%
    7.    Android Browser - 0.41%

    The big 3 are neck and neck!
