Deciding whether to stick to jQuery 1.9 or jump to 2.0, here are some numbers from Google Analytics:

  1. Chrome: 49.34%
  2. Firefox: 22.97%
  3. Safari: 20.94%
  4. Internet Explorer: 3.16%
  5. Opera: 1.65%
  6. Opera Mini: 0.84%
  7. Mozilla Compatible Agent: 0.33%
  8. Android Browser: 0.23%
  9. Safari (in-app): 0.16%
  10. Nokia5130c-2: 0.06%

Drilling down into that IE segment:

  1. 9.0: 38.70%
  2. 8.0: 37.01%
  3. 10.0: 9.60%
  4. 7.0: 9.04%
  5. 6.0: 5.65%

So, only 1.63% of all visitors would have potentially broken functionality if I were to jump to 2.0.
