I was looking at some statistics for my site today and noticed something weird. Where in the world are all these Netscape 3 users coming from? I have never even bothered to look at my site in Netscape 3. It just seems wierd that more people are using NN3 then NN4 and Opera on my site. Anyone else experience this?
My stats over the past 2 months:
red - Number of visitors
Blue - Percentage of visitors
MSIE 6 - 4,598 - 70.73%
MSIE 5 - 1,592 b - 24.49%
Netscape 6 - 126 - 1.93%
Netscape 3 - 92 - 1.41%
Netscape 4 - 60 - 0.92%
Opera 6 - 13 - 0.2%
MSIE 4 - 8 - 0.12%
Other - 8 - 0.12%

Well, there's always some weirdo out there who doesn't fit the pattern. Could be s/he's checking from somebody else's computer? Somebody who doesn't give a rat's a** who's winning the browser wars?
Here are my stats for the last two days:
MSIE 5.x with 4768 sessions (31.65% of all sessions)
Netscape 4.x with 4585 sessions (30.43% of all sessions)
AOL 4.x with 2982 sessions (19.79% of all sessions)
Unknown with 1998 sessions (13.26% of all sessions)
Netscape 5.x with 283 sessions (1.88% of all sessions)
AOL 5.x with 151 sessions (1.00% of all sessions)
Netscape 3.x with 151 sessions (1.00% of all sessions)
MSIE 4.x with 87 sessions (0.58% of all sessions)
Opera 3.x with 53 sessions (0.35% of all sessions)
Netscape 2.x with 5 sessions (0.03% of all sessions)
MSIE 3.x with 4 sessions (0.03% of all sessions)

The browser details are posted as a part of every request - it's possible someone has a spider (or another browsing tool) *claiming* to be Netscape 2.x (this is configurable to a degree with opera using 'identify as...') so any sites that tailor specific content to specific browsers capabilities will get the site baseline HTML without the later extensions!
Or they could just be mean like me, and want to gnarl up stats like these :P |

| haha - it may be proxied out that way from this building actually - the actual user-agent lines were far more verbose as I intercepted the requests using @stake's webproxy (runs on local box, gives editable access to all headers etc)! |
