	But look at who the results come from:
	
	"Top 10 Browser Types Visiting Internet.com"
	
	and who are Internet.com when they're at home?

http://www.internet.com doesn't really make that clear, does it?

	I'd be much more interested in results from Google, now.

They would be equally worthless, and I mean WORTHLESS.
No site KNOWS what browsers access it, only what identification
string the browsers send them.
At least one of the browsers I use can be asked with a couple of
mouse clicks to announce itself as any of several other browsers.
(I haven't bothered looking to see if the others can.  Hang on,
I _know_ two of the others can be so configured with a wee bit of code.)
