ok, neat... but what does the "age of my browser" mean?


It approximates how long it's been since your browser was released and aggregates other stats based on referrer. I'm asserting that site's being visited by newer browsers are gathering a more tech savvy crowd.


this. plus, mine is 0 days old (Opera 12.02, released more than a month ago I think) . How come?


IE10 using the Windows 8 modern interface is 0 days old. I wonder if they consider IE 10 to be released next month. I've had it installed for weeks.


Same here. On Opera, 0 days. weird.


Looks like browser versions newer than newest version they have in the data files get 0 days. https://github.com/witoff/BrowserAge/blob/master/data/age-ms... doesn't have IE10 mentioned in the other post, https://github.com/witoff/BrowserAge/blob/master/data/age-op... doesn't have Opera 12.02.
