: What is required is a short comprehensive list of what browsers/versions support what image types. Most support GIF/JPG, but which support PNG?

As far as I know, only MS Internet Explorer 4 supports PNG at the moment. The relatively small user base of this browser compared to the rest of the Web means that it's still premature to use PNGs. The benefits are just not worth it.

When more browsers support it and less people are using older browsers, we may see PNGs around a lot more. However, by then we may have an entirely new, and better format.
