Whenever you look at a Web page, certain information is logged by the Web
server (if desired by the Webmaster): one of these pieces of information is the
make of the browser.

This allows everyone to make up the figures, depending on which sites you
chose. For example, the default start-up site for Netscape is
http://home.netscape.com. If you look here you will probably see Netscape as
the most popular browser.
