1/3rd of China still uses IE6 while the worldwide number approaches single digits

IE6 Worldwide

The most recent statistics according the IE6 Countdown shows that the world as a whole is at 10.9% usage on IE6. The United States, Turkey, Canada, Brazil, Russia, Autstralia, New Zealand and the UK are at the top (bottom) of the list with under 3% of overall browsers running as IE6. Norway leads everyone at 0.4% and their neighbors in Finland are at 0.8%. China, on the other hand, is still behind everyone else by far with 33.9% on IE6, followed by South Korea  at 22.3%. Soon, the number worldwide will drop below the 10% mark, and eventually it will be gone. It won’t be missed.

  1. Wow.  You are a smart one, huh?  If you read the percentage label on china, it states that 33.9% of China’s internet users use IE6 (which, if you are indeed smart enough to do math is approximately 1/3 of China’s internet user population.)  
    In addition, you may notice that china’s portion of the 10.9% IE6 world usage pie chart appears to be approximately 1/2 of the chart.  If you’ve forgotten the basics of pie charts, you could also do more basic math…5.8% divided by the total, 10.9% is approximately 1/2.  Learn math asshat!  Idiot.
