Most of what's out there in the US is Internet Explorer and Netscape,
but varying versions.  Don't forget there are also people using
audio browsers/page readers, and non-graphical browsers like Lynx.

CAST, the Center for Applied Special Technology, has a good web page
checker available for use online or as a downloaded version.  It
examines web pages for how accessible they are to users with various
disabilities, and also for compatibility with HTML 2.0, 3.2, 4.0, various
versions of IE, Netscape, AOL, Lynx and WebTV browsers, points out
problems with sloppy coding, and otherwise gives your web pages a
very nice once-over, with suggestions for improving  the technical
end of things.  It also gives you stats on download times, etc.

It's at http://www.cast.org/bobby -- and well worth the few seconds
it takes to run it.

Also on the same page are a good series of links to information about
making your pages technically accessible to as many people as possible.
