Add % Users Able to Use in the Browser Support table

[sajosh]

First, thanks for all the valuable information on this site.

 

 

A powerful and very useful addition would be for w3schools to add % Users Able to Use Element in the Browser Support table. So underneath each browser's version number you should add the percentage of current worldwide population that can use that css element. w3schools already stores that information ... http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp

 

A single number would be even better. That way developers can see at a glance how many people will be able to use that element and how many can't.

 

Showing by IP address' country would be good too for all those who target market their own countries. Or providing a click to get to that number.

 

Knowing the browser version is fine but knowing current number of users affected in my country would be so much more valuable.

 

 

Hope this suggestion gets implemented to help our community.

That's exactly what this site is for:http://caniuse.comIt wouldn't be practical to try and do that here. Among other things, the w3schools.com statistics do not accurately reflect actual browser usage. They reflect the browser usage of people visiting the w3schools.com website (which tends to be web developers who are more technical than the general population), not everyone.

Ok, so percentage of market per browser is awkward to provide. But something needs to be done to improve the usefulness of the Browser Support section because the first reaction to seeing the browser list is to look somewhere else for the age of those browser versions.

 

Here's the idea: beside each browser, place an estimate of the date of introduction of that particular browser version. This simple attribute would give users a general idea of the age of systems which can handle the coding in question - a really important consideration.
