How many use old browsers (e.g. =< Netscape 4 or IE 6) as their ONLY source of web content?

I have been using Mosaic on my OpenVMS system, almost unusable, but fun.
It's more important in this day and age to keep up with the web publishing

that are not mobile friendly in their rankings.  If you can't be found,
what's the point?
