2007 Website Statistics from multiple websites show that the top three website browsers are still IE 6, IE 7, and Firefox.
Here are some browser statistics for 2007.

| MSIE 7.0 | 43.52% | 18.32% | 37.59% | 35.54% | 35.55% | 36.97% | 38.89% | 37.31% |
| MSIE 6.0 | 30.88% | 24.62% | 46.60% | 41.05% | 47.73% | 51.08% | 42.45% | 38.66% |
| MSIE 5.5 | 0.51% | 0.16% | 0.39% | 0.17% | 0.17% | 0.17% | 0.23% | 0.34% |
| MSIE 5.0 | 2.37% | 0.20% | 0.39% | 0.60% | 0.31% | 0.13% | 0.46% | 1.04% |

| Safari | 1.12% | 6.22% | 3.88% | 4.83% | 2.59% | 2.01% | 4.47% | 3.03% |
| Netscape | 0.42% | 0.23% | 0.71% | 0.42% | 0.22% | 0.64% | 0.45% | 0.46% |
| Opera | 2.32% | 2.18% | 0.15% | 0.35% | 0.26% | 0.09% | 0.25% | 1.13% |
It looks like more and more people are installing IE 7 although more people are still using IE 6. Firefox is still a bit hit in the tech sector as seen from Site 2. Overall it looks like Firefox lost a little ground to the IE 7 movement compared to last years browser statistics.

Josh, site 2 is a flash development page (very techy) so it reflects the percentage of techy users that use firefox compared to other browsers.
I read about Netscape going the way of the world a little while ago. I think back to my first experiences on the Internet and still remember being a Netscape junky, where Netscape owned the browser industry. Boy have things come a long way since then.

Did you hear that Netscape is basically gone? They stopped development, and the security updates will only continue for a month or so. You´ve got me wondering what sites these are, especially seeing how many firefox users went to Site 2.
