DERoss

Last September, I reported that 3.9% of the recognizable browsers viewing my Web site were Safari. Only 1.4% were Opera. See my http://www.rossde.com/viewing_site.html for details. Scroll beyond the table, which reflects the W3Schools tabulation. Note, however, that the number of Safari views of my site is likely skewed by the fact that my daughter (living 2,000 miles away) was using Safari on her Mac at the time. She visits my Web site quite frequently.

Is it possible that the implied "others" includes SeaMonkey, version 1.0 of which was released to end users very early in February? This is a direct descendent of Mozilla 1.7.12. Thus, a decrease in Mozilla users might correlate with an increase in SeaMonkey users. The UA string is Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060130 SeaMonkey/1.0
