I’ve updated my marketshare spreadsheet for Sep 2010 charting the percentage of web users who can view SVG and Canvas: 43.10%
I also started tracking what percentage of web users can see SVG in an <img> tag. Currently that's at about 16%, up from 8% a year ago. I expect that number to soar dramatically once Firefox 4 and IE9 are released.
Because my kids are now old enough to grok some complex games, I've introduced them to the Magic: The Gathering card game. They love it. I love it. To continue the fun, we went to a local comic book store and bought a couple booster packs, which apparently are still being sold throughout the world. One of my kids got a Protean Hydra. Sweet! The Hydra is a mythical beast with nine heads, and every time you chop off a head, two more grow back.
The web is like that. And we're not chopping off heads fast enough. Read the rest of this entry ...
I’ve updated my marketshare spreadsheet for Aug 2010 charting the percentage of web users who can view SVG and Canvas: 41.08%
Still looking for more stats sites - it seems that W3Counter is also not reliable (their public web stats for August were still not generated as of Sep 12th).
Those wacky Mozilla guys just fixed a bug I've been waiting years for: They now support SVG in <img> tags (and in most image contexts, for example background-image). This will be available in Firefox 4 Beta 6 and beyond (or download a nightly). Read the rest of this entry ...
SVGI’ve updated my marketshare spreadsheet for July 2010 charting the percentage of web users who can view SVG and Canvas: 41.82%
Note that this number is lower than last month's because I could not include hitslink.com stats (they've put their stats behind a pay-wall now). If anyone knows of a better source of stats, let me know.
P.S. This figure does not take into account any user that has a SVG plugin installed or authors who have used the excellent SVG Web or excanvas shims, so this is really a worst-case number.
