THE WEB STANDARDS GROUP
RECOMMENDS that Web pages be designed to work with
the browsers that 99% of our visitors use. Current usage
is based on UCSB domain stats (or stats from a developer's
own domain.) As of April, 2006, 99% of our visitors were
using these browsers:
Because browser usage evolves over time, this page will be
updated periodically.
A 99% target of 1,500,000 hits still leaves out 15,000 of
our visitors, and so the Web Standards Group recommends that
site content be available to all browsers, or that alternatives
be provided.
For BrowserCam and other validation tools, see our Site Tools
page at http://www.ucsb.edu/webguide/resources/tools.shtml.
The standards described on this page may be used for vendor
requirements; e.g., "Product must work with 99% of
our current usage."
