[Scummvm-devel] New website proposal - asking for feedback

[Thierry Crozat]

To answer the question about browsers, we do have statistics. For June, if I read them correctly:
 Chrome represents 45.2% of all access. Most of those are from versions 67 (about 22%) and 66 (about 15%). Some older versions are still present with Chrome 59 representing 0.5% of all access (with 18 000 hits), Chrome 56 having 0.6% (21 5000 hits, Chrome 52 having 0,4 % (15 000 hits), Chrome 49 having 0.3% (13 000 hits), and Chrome 38 having 0.2% (9 500 hits).
 Firefox represents 31.3%. By far the most common version is 60.0 (23.5%). The oldest version with some significant hits is 40.1 (26 000 hits, 0.7%),
 Safari represents 7.1%, mostly with version 11 (about 5% for 11.0 and 11.1 combined). Safari 9 has about 7 000 hits (0.2%).
 Internet Explorer represents 2.4%, mostly with version 11 (65 000 hits, 1.9%). Version 7, 8 and 9 all score around 5 000 hits each.
 Edge represents 3%, mostly for versions 16 and 17.
 Opera represents 2.8%, mostly with version 53 (about 2%). Opera 12.16 still has about 9 000 hits (0.2%).
 Nestcape, mostly version 5.0, has a few thousands hits (0.1%)

Note: we have an average of 71 hits per unique visitor, so 5000 hits is about 70 users.

Regarding the changes in the PR, I have not really looked in detail, but I like what I have seen.
For me the main question mark is indeed whether it is OK to drop support for those older browsers that are still marginally used. Personally I think I am fine with it.
