Good idea, Borek. I am doing this in Firefox (don't ask!) and the extension
can be found _here_:
http://chrispederick.com/work/useragentswitcher/
Pitfalls:
* Need to change user-agent string setup whenever Firefox is started (can put
a quick switcher in the toolbar though).
* Certain sites will deny access, notably banks
* Other sites will suffer from false statistics.
You could then:
,----[ Command ]
|
| grep "HJKLHJ" log_file >your_stats
|
`----
I don't know to to negative this operation or 'subtract' one file from
another
Best wishes,
Roy
