Unfortunately only if you count all the different wrappers around the Firefox and Chrome web engines. The others are the ones without enough "bells and whistles" for many websites. I doubt that complaining to the creators of such websites would make much difference (though occasionally I've tried anyway), because if you're using an honest User-Agent header then you're already telling them what browser you want supported in a very clear way. I have been with Dillo, but of course updates to many websites that I frequently visited broke compatibility with it anyway. -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _#
