Are Internet Explorer users dumb?

FYI

Opera might be a great browser but not many folks actually use it.

Febuary's web-browser users on my site based on the 36,000 unique users up to the 25th of this month.

Firefox...17.7 %

I have a very high rate of visitors coming from places other than the USA so that might skew the stats somewhat.

Or it might not, I really don't know.

?? - Chrome?
Your Firefox is also very low compared to others. Firefox is in the high 20's to low 30's.
Combined, Chrome and Firefox significantly outnumber IE. (World-wide)
America IE is still in the mid 40's.

I suspect that Safari = Chrome, unless his website is some sort of pro-Applefan site

Ahh...your right..Safari should be about 5% tops....that has to be Chrome.

(CNN) -- Are users of other Web browsers smarter than the people who use Microsoft's Internet Explorer?

A new survey doesn't quite say so. But it sure as heck suggests it.

The survey by AptiQuant, a Vancouver-based Web consulting company, gave more than 100,000 participants an IQ test, while monitoring which browser they used to take the test.

The result? Internet Explorer users scored lower than average, while Chrome, Firefox and Safari users were slightly above average.

And users of the more obscure Camino and Opera browsers, as well as those using Explorer with Chrome Frame (a plug-in designed to let users view emerging HTML5 content), had what AptiQuaint called "exceptionally higher" IQ levels

So if ya want people to think you're schmart migrate to Opera........

They can't be all that smart if they prefer Opera without NoScript to Firefox with it. Come to think of it, Firefox lets you spoof your user agent to make it look like you are using Opera, that probably explains the results.

I won't abide IE. It's at the bottom of the Chrome - Firefox - IE stack.
