Perhaps due to the lack of Amiga's firewall its one of the few OSs not blocking the ads and other crap that stem from the website, thus gets recorded.


What do you mean? 'Leaking' browser and OS ID is no security issue but an HTTP feature, a firewall or lack thereof has nothing to do with it.

(btw: You only require a firewall when there's no decent way to configure the network services running on your system - like in all Win NT flavors)

What's the user agent string for an Amiga browser?  Would be interesting to change a bunch of PCs around here to ID as Amiga....

Great idea:
Firefox: enter about:config as URL, change general.useragent.extra.firefox to "IBrowse/2.4 (AmigaOS 3.9)" (source), visit pcpro.co.uk.

PS: Oh crap - you can't change the first part, the 'extra' is just appended. :P
"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.9.1.4) Gecko/20091016 IBrowse/2.4 (AmigaOS 3.1)"
