I recently read that Microsoft will soon start asking users of Internet Explorer 6 to upgrade to Internet Explorer 8. Microsoft says IE6 is very old technology and may not work well for modern web sites. They also noted IE6 has security weaknesses that are corrected in IE8.
The table below shows browsers used by folks visiting our class web site. About 17 percent of the visits between January 1 and April 13 of this year used IE6. If you use IE6 or IE7 and want to upgrade your browser, you can use IE 8, Firefox, or the Google Chrome browser and be reasonably confident that any of those browsers will do a good job for you on our web site.
| Browser | Visitors | % of Total Visitors | |
| 1 | Internet Explorer 7.x | 1,511 | 60.76% |
| 2 | Internet Explorer 6.x | 413 | 16.61% |
| 3 | Google Chrome | 203 | 8.16% |
| 4 | Unnamed Others | 104 | 4.18% |
| 5 | Firefox | 100 | 4.02% |
| 6 | Internet Explorer 8.x | 27 | 1.09% |
| 7 | 26 Other Special Purpose Browsers | 129 | 5.19% |
| Total | 2,487 | 100.00% |
