Doesn't really allow for the fact that Opera can identify itself
as four other kinds of browser to fool browser sniffers as
required to gain usable access to non open standards Web sites.

(See the "Statistics Are Often Misleading" section.)

That aside, looks like acceptance of the Mozilla family (Firefox
et al) is really taking off!
