I am looking at it with Mozilla. Is it distorting reality? ;-)
What am I missing?
Two things: 1. Mozilla may for compatbility reasons identify itself as I.E. and IMHO more likely, I.E. is the more popular browser.
Actually, if you look at the "user-agent" line of IE, it identifies itself as - Mozilla! Why? Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe to try to fool M$-hate sites?
For the same reason Geoffrey pointed out. Back in 1996, most sites were "Netscape only". Internet explorer, in order to bypass the "is Netscape" JavaScript check, identifies itself the same as Netscape (Mozilla), and then added in brackets that it's actually IE, so that the logs show whether it is or isn't.
I was half hoping Mozilla will identify itself as "Gecko", thus making it the only major browser NOT to identify itself as Mozilla :-)
