Right, same with Konqueror.  Fortunately, web access logs on kegel.com show
that an overwhelming majority of visitors do specify the distro;
the first entry that doesn't (Konqueror) is only #14 and accounts
for a small percentage.  And even then we won't break,
we'll just show the current download page.

Hint: you can test them by running them in the address bar, ie:
javascript:alert(window.navigator.vendor);
