Web browser stats?
I remember a URL to current web browser version stats being posted here a
while ago. Anybody have a good current summary of UserAgent
characteristics from a busy site? I need to convince some yokels that it
should be ok to go with a Host-Header virtual host solution as opposed to
IP-based virtual hosts.

Note the underlined text below. The figures also *exclude* requests for
style sheet(*) links which would account for an extra ~16% of pageviews.
Lynx is just a blip on the radar these days.. skewed or not.

(*) how to crash Netscape 4.. enable style sheets, disable javascript and
hit the net... if what I've seen is typical, you won't last long :-(
btw, the comment about remembering the small corps (another thread)
reminded me of the old joke.. what's the best way to get yourself a small
British company ?... setup a big one and wait a little.

Are those stats including gif accesses? If so then you've skewed the lynx
statistics.
