When I must use Windows, I stick to Firefox. Being able to use this same browser on both the Mac and Windows makes for a semi-consistent experience.

Maybe a nice idea for a Pepper request? I'm using Firefox on OsX as well, I can't stand Safari. Hmm, it would be nice if Mint would link the os to the browser. Maybe a nice idea for a Pepper request?

I put it down to traffic from people at work as you suggest. One even went so far as to upbraid me about how crap the site looks in Internet Explorer :) I don't think that percentage was affected either way by the "digg factor".

Otherwise, Safari on the Mac. Sorry for the latent follow-up: if I were a Mac Guy using Windows, my browser of choice would Firefox. Otherwise, Safari on the Mac.

Doesn't it strike you as odd that 23% of your hits are from Windows users? I mean, OK, there's the people that use Windows on the job, Mac at home (what better way to kill time at work than checking out HawkWings?) but you have to admit that's pretty surprising. Unless you have had a page digged. Perhaps you should consider what may have attracted Windows users...interesting icons, eg. Even so, I doubt percentages could be tilted that far based on Firefox-Windows users. return mathBad(myHouse). Nearly a quarter of your hits are from Windows.

But it tells me that 75% are using Mac, 23% Windows and 2% Linux. I didn't think to write down the before and after digg figures though :( Mint doesn’t let me cross-reference like that.

I have a Mac-centric site, too, but receive a peculiarly large number of Firefox-Windows hits. I've always attributed it to curiosity, bots, and referrer spam.
