Granted, this appears to be more reliable than 99.9% - but isn't
javascript required in order for thecounter.com to gather stats, or do
they use web bugs?

good point...

btw that "99.99%" was never intended to be used as some kind of reliable statistic!
so please don't quote it as such!
- it was only a guess about something - perhaps I should have just said something like "most"... :-)

I think it is (semi) safer to say 4% of visitors to sites using
thecounter.com counters do not have javascript enabled =)

I think I was talking about mobile phone users who in total would probably only barely be noticed by such web counters... (if they work by loading an image not all mobile browsers would display it on a page load and if it needs javascript then it would be a lot less again!)

btw it seems that there are quite a few people out there who browse on their phones but do not often browse on a PC... so I don't think we can expect them all to be familiar with many of the conventions we might take for granted!
