Global Usage of IE6 and IE7

Posted at Sun, 12 Feb 2012, 00:27:43

Here's some fun data. The percentage of people using Internet Explorer 6 in each country in November 2012, according to StatCounter (direct CSV link). All unlisted countries have less than 1% usage (at least, that's my interpretation of them having a value of "0" in this CSV!).

  • China: 7.31%
  • Eritrea: 5.49%
  • Chad: 4.75%
  • Myanmar: 4.63%
  • Swaziland: 2.17%
  • Rwanda: 1.95%
  • Cuba: 1.78%
  • Burkina Faso: 1.41%
  • Zambia: 1.39%
  • Sao Tome and Principe: 1.39%
  • Samoa: 1.37%
  • North Korea: 1.34%
  • Papua New Guinea: 1.31%
  • Niger: 1.3%
  • Iran: 1.29%
  • Saint Helena: 1.27%
  • Lesotho: 1.25%
  • Equatorial Guinea: 1.23%
  • India: 1.17%
  • Tanzania: 1.17%
  • Central African Republic: 1.16%
  • Togo: 1.08%
  • Taiwan: 1.05%
  • Guinea-Bissau: 1.05%


That looks like a list of countries worth spending days ensuring support for, right? :)

IE7's usage is pretty minimal everywhere, too, and at work I no longer have to support IE7 for the vast majority of projects, thankfully:
  • Falkland Islands (Malvinas): 4.16%
  • Chad: 4.01%
  • Guinea-Bissau: 3.04%
  • Lesotho: 2.57%
  • Swaziland: 2.36%
  • Myanmar: 2.12%
  • Iran: 1.98%
  • Sao Tome and Principe: 1.93%
