Thomas Baekdal has authored an insightful report on the Actual Browser Sizes that are being used by the people visiting our sites. The report has some interesting findings like users with screen resolution of 1024×768 and lower typically maximize their browser window, where users with larger screen resolutions are less likely to browse with maximized windows.
The report is broken into 5 parts:
- Where did the data come from?
- Display usage
- Browser usage
- 800×600/1024×768/1280x??? Specifically
- What size do I need to support?
Take the time to read this report. It will be well worth your time if you understand that you are ultimately creating for users.
