Nice stats. Too bad they probably aren't correct, since most Linux
browsers are configured to lie about themselves and the OS they're

Firefox makes it easy to set up the fake headers for this very reason.
There is currently a survey underway at Groklaw in an attempt to find
out which sites are the worst when viewed with other browsers. My
biggest problem is Major League Baseball.
Yes, I still use Agent on Win98SE for the newsgroups. As soon as I
find a usable replacement, this final piece of Microsoft garbage can
be replaced.
