RE: filmscanners: Puzzled about display resolution
Most web hosting companies can get stats from users of their websites. You
can find out what browsers are most popular, resolution settings, among
other things. For me, as a web designer, such stats help me to create
websites that are more accessible to everyone. If I see everyone is using
1024x768 or higher, I can design for that. If I see that 80% of my viewers
are at 800x600, then I must design to that size. Nobody likes to scroll
horizontally, and the resolution stat from my web host is a huge help in
keeping my site looking good at all resolutions and on all platforms and in
all browsers.

Of course not.

How do you know that is their display resolution, and not what their browser
is set to? I don't know how you do what you claim, so I have no idea how
you get that info.
If my display information is being sent to someone, that would tick me off,
because it's none of their business what my display settings are. What else
gets sent?
