On: Poll: Which web browser do you use?

Perhaps instead of this poll, pg could simply toss some page analytics onto hackernews? To be honest, I was surprised when I didn't see any trackers in the page source.

He doesn't need a js tracker if he just looks at logs. While analytics adds a lot of cool features, it is often to the users detriment.

I block analytics with AdBlockPlus because it often adds multi-second delays to page loading.

IMO you should respect the site you like and often use. If they want analytics, let them have it, it's the least you can do.

If pg did post analytics like these, I wouldn't have made this poll. But the thing is that he did not for whatever reason, and I felt that a lot of users (including me) would like to see the data ourselves. Unless pg decides to post it, I see this as the only way for HN users to find out.

Perhaps you missed the "Analytics by Mixpanel" logo at the bottom of the page? :)

(Yes I realize it's not actually being used)
