Right, and because of this general assumption, most Konqueror users have to use the nifty 'set user agent' feature and disguise themselves as other browsers so that stupid websites to not say "we do not support your browser... please use IE, Netscape or Mozilla", but yet they actually do support us if we masquerade! Please, do not trust those logs!!!

Default Linux browser?

This also gives Konqueror users a means to cloud the issue that their browser is used by,
statistically speaking, nobody. Whatever the most popular browser is, a finite slice of that must be
clandestine Konqueror users. It's a brilliant marketing strategy which I have long admired.

I'm not nobody!

And nobody isn't me.

Nor do I care how statistically you speak!
