I’m also tracking what percentage of web users can see SVG in an <img> tag: 18.41%

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.

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 …

Note that I added “Canvas” back into the title of these blog posts, now that it is public that IE9 is supporting the HTML5 <canvas> element. I’ve also added SVG-as-an-image (usable inside <img> or as a CSS background-image), since that’s something that seems likely to be supported soon by all browsers (Firefox 4, IE9).
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.
