Of late, it feels like a number software companies out there are forcing user's hand to make the switch to FireFox sooner rather than later... This is just another example of it -- and it's driving me nuts...

But if countless IE users continue to see the "Operation aborted" error with every other site they view, well, the FireFox users won't be in the minority for long...

SiteMeter, when I was deciding some years ago, was the one that seemed to be the best, among the free counters.

I just found out about this, via Bill Dennis (Peoria Pundit), who linked to 'Twitter' postings, about Sitemeter:

That's where I found this entry.

Thanks again for the extended info... But I wish my blogging rate was such for which something like this still mattered. :-(
