   But now nobody knows you're using Dillo in the first place! What   
   incentive do website makers have to consider Dillo users if they're   
   all pretending to use other browsers?   
      
   I think it's shooting yourself in the foot. True, websites have   
   been machine gunning me down for years in spite of my honest Dillo   
   user-agent, but at least I'm not part of the problem.
