Evolving Patterns of Browser Usage

Just out of curiosity, I thought I’d look at RedState users’ browsers over the past three years. Like with so many other sites, even here at RedState we can see the decline in the Blackberry as a browser. It was only 1% of our traffic in 2009, but is just about at zero now. Also, Safari has become huge. Of all our mobile traffic, Safari is absolutely dominant.

The most notable bit of information is the continued collapse of Internet Explorer market share, a trend that has been occurring on this site since we began keeping analytical data going back to 2005.
