Firefox 46.9 %
The second most used browser is Internet Explorer (IE)
Msie 6.0 23.7 %
Msie 5.5 2.4 %
The remaining browsers are a mix of Safaria, Opera, and misc Netscape broswers.

This change in design policy, however, will greatly increase the cross-browser and cross-platform compatability for majority of the site visitors. For most visitors there will be no visible changes, for others there may be major changes. Stay tuned.
