    OK it's 22nd on the list but it made the list.

    There's a few of us out there using OWB to read OSNews.com

    With 0.01% of the trafik, it means that one in every 10.000 visitors use any version of OWB. Considering that there should be a united count from MorphOS + AmigaOS 4 + AROS of maybe only 10.000 worldwide altogether this is a very good figure :-)

    Keep in mind that Odyssey identifies as Safari and OS X by default for compatibility from what I can see, so most of us are not adding to that figure, we're getting lumped in with the mac users.

    "Safari" and "Macintosh" (not "OS X"), yes. The specific interpretation depends on how deeply the user agent string is checked, see:

    https://morph.zone/modules/newbb_plus/viewtopic.php?topic_id=9340&forum=9&start=6

    As you can see, the string contains "MorphOS", "Odyssey Web Browser" and "OWB" as well.

    > so most of us are not adding to that figure, we're getting lumped in with the mac users.

    I think that the OSNews statistics are accurate enough to count OWB's default user agent string as a separate browser, different from Safari on MacOSX.

    Given the topics discussed on that website, one might assume that the average visitor is more knowledgeable about computers than most people (although the comments often indicate otherwise), which makes it more likely that a sizable portion of all visitors use methods to block common online tracking solutions (via special ad-blockers, plain Javascript blockers, IP ban lists, etc.).

    Using any proper analytics software that relies on local server logs as a data source should provide far more meaningful information.

    Not that I think it would have made any difference for this list, but does Timberwolf even show a user agent string different from that of Firefox 4 (except the OS part of course)?
